Includes detailed “recipes” for growing edible mushrooms at home by several accessible methods. Cute illustrations. General idea of de-mystifying mushroom foraging and home cultivation. Author’s hope is that one day growing edible and medicinal mushrooms will be as commonplace as growing tomatoes or peppers in the home garden. https://slackersmuse.com/posts/br_theoverstory/ Sun, 28 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://slackersmuse.com/posts/br_theoverstory/ A Review: The Overstory Title of Work: The Overstory Author: Richard Powers Format: Published: 2018 Started: Finished: 2024-04-28\ Posted: Goodreads Rating: 5/5 It’s good in a sort of East of Eden way but with an entirely different flavor profile. A splash of Grapes of Wrath too, empathy for the downtrodden and exploited–maybe more like us than we thought. Very eco-centric. The slow and rich lives of trees and what they may teach us if we slow down and give them time time to share what they’ve learned in their hundreds of millions of years of experimentation.
