Sue swears by this book. She likes ‘shrooms more than I do, and is an avid picker.

Hi,
Looks like shiitake growing on pressed sawdust blocks. When I was a postdoc in Wisconsin we were trying to perfect this technique for mass production. Never really got there because the market for the species remained rather niche. Really good in stir fry, though.
Cheers,
Keith

The Princess Bride is one of our favorite movies, and we watch it on our wedding anniversary every year…. on the day of our “mawage.”

The kids love the link to the bug id site. They are already keen amateur naturalists and appreciate the chance to further their knowledge.

Joe adds that using his superpower vision he saw lots of gold, but this can not be confirmed.

Joe and Evelyn confirm there were no skeletons, just a big dark hole.
