- Passionate, visionary and bordering on the spiritual, this is a wonderful book. Review by Maddy Harland, editor Permaculture magazine
-
Permaculturist, Paul Stamets, has been encouraging us to grow these delicious fruiting bodies in the garden, in cupboards and in the lab since the early 1980s. In this latest book he explains in fascinating detail the biology of fungi, so you can appreciate their amazing interconnective patterns and learn how to grow them. Stamets invisages the use of fungi for the ecological restoration of soils, to boost fertility and for food and medicine. The author explains how to grow edible mushrooms on various mediums like cardboard, wood, straw, in forests, in the garden and introduces his 'cast' of magnificent edible species with cultivation methods, cooking and harvesting hints, nutritional profiles, medicinal properties. Passionate, visionary and bordering on the spiritual, this is a wonderful book. (Posted on 07/07/2010)Review
