Around 15 years ago I purchased a mushroom growing kit from Eastern Market in Detroit.
The process was fascinating and the mushrooms beautiful.
I'm now fortunate to teach others and we would love to have you at our upcoming introductory mushroom cultivation class next Sunday October 26th at 1:00 pm at our facility in Grand Rapids.
This course is perfect for anyone interested in growing their own mushrooms at home for personal use. We'll discuss low-tech indoor and outdoor cultivation. Registration includes a grow kit for each participant to take home.
More details and registration available at our website: https://mycophile.org/event/introductory-cultivation-course-2025-10-26-108/register

It's hard to get a good picture of these Coral Tooth, Hericium coralloides, but they sure are beautiful.

A close relative of lion's mane, these mushrooms have a more rich and buttery flavor and are less likely to have metallic or bitter notes and are generally preferred over lion's mane.

In addition to being a superior edible, these mushrooms contain the same medicinal compounds found in lion's mane. Though I'm not sure if one is known to be more potent than the other.

Their delicate nature and lower yields makes them less attractive to cultivators, but we are thrilled to have them back in regular rotation. We've grown them before a few times but had taken a break during the summer.

I believe we have them at most or all of our farmers markets today. We'll see you there!!

Well, I was supposed to get classes for the fall posted on our website by July.

I didn't get it done until end of August and now for some reason I've waited until October to advertise it.

Even without that, a number of people have already signed up for a few of our fall classes, which is great that people are checking out the website even when we are slacking.

But they're up there and we would love to have you find more info at this link:

Well I wasn't sure if it was going to happen this year, but one of our pawpaw people came through with some of North America's largest native fruit and I will have them at the Fulton Street Farmers market today.

Hey I know that beautiful mushroom farming babe!

Too bad the market at the Capitol got rained out Tuesday, but it was a good morning!

Jess has had a great time at the Capitol markets this summer and we'll be back next year just like we have been for the last 7 years.

Thank you so much to our shoppers, farmers, vendors, volunteers, sponsors, and all of the other local food champions who joined us yesterday at the third and final Farmers Market at the Capitol event of the season. We look forward to seeing you again when the market returns in July 2026!

Vendors: want to be the first to know when applications for 2026 become available? Sign up to be notified here: https://mifma.org/for-vendors/farmers-market-at-the-capitol/

We rarely get negative feedback from people aside from occasional people that don't have success with their grow kits and random strangers on the internet.

But I still get a little bit nervous when I see our name brought up in public forums and I'm so pleased that so many people have good things to say about us and our products. There were a few other positive mentions in this thread as well.

Thank you all so much for your support and taking the time to talk us up.
