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.

I'm clearing and getting rid of an old pile of wood chips from a mushroom project in my yard and I kept noticing this really strong citronella scent. It was super pleasant but very confusing and I was trying to figure out what plant was making that aroma.
Lemon balm? Citronella? Is that even a plant?

I had been noticing all the millions of ants that I was disturbing and then remembered that some ants have a lemon or citronella like scent.
Lo and behold that is where the aroma was coming from. I'm never encountered citronella scented ants before that I was aware of but they smell super nice and it was extremely interesting. I have however encountered ants that smell like blue cheese. Nature is amazing.

We've been growing a new variety of grey oyster mushroom with a fully edible stem and one of the best flavors amongst the different oyster varieties that we grow.

They are a bit more hearty and long-lasting our black king or blue King oysters with a texture more similar to a traditional oyster mushroom.

The recent cool weather has really brought out an incredible dark gray, almost black color in some of them.

They have so much saturation and depth that they look velvety, reminiscent of the black poplar or velvet pioppino which we occasionally grow.

We will have them at every Market this Saturday. See the calendar of markets we attend @ Mycophile.org/markets

This is my first year at Camp Compost and I'm definitely coming back.

Next year I hope to teach an intro to mushroom cultivation class with a focus on the role that mushrooms play in soil development.

And if they'll let me, I'll teach a second class on advanced or commercial mushroom cultivation.

Great weekend, great crowd, great learning opportunities, great conversations, great vibes, great music, and all on a beautiful property.
