Have you bought a grow kit from me in the last few weeks, or made one at the urban adamah workshop? My test kit is ready which means yours probably is too! It took a lot longer than it has in the past in this cool weather, but as long as it’s covered in white mycelium, it should be ready to birth! Check out ashbyfungi.com/grow-kit-instructions to see those steps.

Every Monday I’ll send out a list of the mushrooms we have available at Ashby fungi and you can order to pickup directly from our farm on Ashby ave. This past week my 150sq ft greenhouse produced over 200lbs of mushrooms! That’s twice as much as usual and I need people to eat them! So place your orders today at ashbyfungi.square.site and enjoy mushroom pasta, stir fries, omelette, risotto, and more!

This month I’d like to feature the Indigenous Environmental Network. The IEN is a coalition of indigenous, grassroots environmental justice activists. IEN helps build the capacity of indigenous communities to protect the land, water, air, natural resources, and health of people and the earth, as well as to build economically sustainable communities. Ashby Fungi will be donating 5% of our total profits in the month of November to IEN.
