This book is essentially the Bible (or insert any religious book here) on mushroom growing written by the authority on mushroom growing in the United States. It provides extensive information on use of mushrooms in early societies, the various abilities of mushrooms (health, environmental, etc.), as well as detailed technical information related to cultivating a wide variety of fungi.
Hosted by Guy Raz, this podcast episode is reminiscent of the story of how many mushroom growers begin. All the mistakes, all the small successes along the way, as you fumble your way towards running a successful mushroom farm, no matter how big or small.
This film acts as a great introductory to the strange, breathtaking, and always awesome world of Fungi. It does well to cover all the way from origin stories up to the serious potential health benefits that mushrooms can provide.
