Mushroom Farm

If you haven’t heard it yet - mushrooms are amazing.
Strains of oyster mushrooms are now being considered a big hope for their ability to clean up oil spills or can reduce diesel contaminants in soil at an incredible rate. They can kill ants, termites, and other insects without using pesticides.
Mycelium has been used to make clothes, furniture, biodegradable packaging material, and even bricks to build houses. Isn’t it absolute beautiful insanity that these organisms that have been around for much longer than we have (nine hundred ninety-three million years to be precise) are so inconspicuous but a lot better at regenerating their environment than we are?

As the largest network of organism-to-organism communication, the “Natural Internet”, as Paul Stamets called them in a TED Talk, we should dare to listen.

As a Green Office we decided to prick up our ears and fill our substrate bags to see what the mycelium has to teach us. We started a small scale Mushroom Farm including lions mane and Reishi that we hope to upsize once we have found the perfect growing environment and inoculation process.
