*Discount Pre-Sales Live 1/20*
www.nmfungi.com

💭 Did you know we've hosted over 15 Master's Grow Courses teaching others how to cultivate their own fungi? We are proud to be leading innovators in New Mexico, offering guidance, support, supplies and resources to local growers.

💭 Did you know mushrooms are among the fastest fruiting specimens in the culinary world? Upon fruiting most species, you'll see pinning within 5-7 days, and harvest your first flush within 2 weeks.

💭 Did you know that mushrooms are cultivated on what is considered by-products? This means what would be waste, is synthesized into 'mushroom food'. I.e. sawdust, straw, even cardboard

'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.'
