I've stopped buying lettuce a long time ago, but I have not stopped

growing it. I'm very fortunate to live in SoCal. In my garden today,

I

have four kinds of lettuce and baby spinach ready to harvest. I have

two

kinds of peas, spring onions, broccoli, cabbage, beets, carrots,

turnips

all up and happy and I'm looking forward to eating the healthy

produce.

After the last frost date, I will be planting a lot more. Oh, and I

should mention the my Jerusalm Artichokes are ready to harvest.

You mentioned both tuna and fish. Just be careful not to overdo fish

(tuna

especially) or you may end up with too much mercury in your system.

Hi ,

interesting that anybody should tell you not to eat mushrooms raw, utter bunk!!

Bunk that is ONLY IF IT'S COMMERCIALLY/HOME PRODUCED MUSHROOMS. Unless you are

expert, eating 'found' fungi is, as we all know, risky. To eat such fungi RAW

is asking for trouble! I do suggest, strongly, you consider thefact that

mushrooms are produced in well rotted manure, and peel them before you do

ANYTHING with them.

This is really a message from Doug.

Some mushroom grow in manure...most don't... most food bourne illness doen't

come from mushrooms... there is a big outbreak right now of food bourne

illness... they think it comes from peanut butter... it is of course good to

know what you are doing if you are going to mess with mushrooms... I think most

people know that... I would want to know from my own research about how to use

mushrooms before I messed with them... I wouldn't take some one elses word for

it on something so important... I have grown my own mushrooms and eaten them

raw... they grew in woodchips and grains... some grow in coffee grinds... others

on logs... you can really get into mushrooms.... it is almost like going to

college... you need to spend years before you really know what you are doing

Hello ,

You are right, up to a point. I feel, that in this instance, is

referring to the usual white button mushroom available all over the place.

Really, I would refer to all other fungi, capped or not, as fungi, thus avoiding

all kinds of horrible misunderstandings. If you know the name of a fungus, it's

probable you also know that it's edible before you try it in the kitchen. I

personally adore oyster mushrooms, shitake, velvet caps and lions mane. Spot

the possible confusion? I believe all of these fungi are growable on all kinds

of substrate, indoors or out. I wouldn't expect a shop to offer me enoki for

instance as a 'mushroom', I suspect they'd think it was something noxious

growing under the floor boards. If you call these goodies, collectively, you

cause your 'audience' to have pre-conceived ideas of what they will look like.

On first sight, most ppeople will certainly not think of eating lion's mane

fungus, it just doesn't look like a 'mushroom'. They're all different, and as

such need different culinary treatment. Let's be more specific if there is any

chance of ghastly consequences to mistaken identity. (I've waited years to use

'ghastly' in a sensible sentence!).

Doug.

You can buy these mushrooms in kit forms online and then you can grow them

yourself.. you can take it further and learn to buy plugs and inoculate the

proper growing medium.. you can then grow mushroom on hardwood... it is a whole

thing as you have to season the logs etc... but then you can have mushroom for a

few seasons... it is a hobby and very educational for children... to have them

see that not all things are bought in the store or advertised on TV.....you

don't have to look for wild mushrooms ...unless you have advanced to that

level... here is a good link to buy mushroom kits

http://www.bacteriapimp.com/25.html the mushroom kits are at the bottom of the

page... they have like 20 different kits at the link

Properly composted and fumigated manures are considered pureified and classified

as food grade.Horse manure and saw dust 50%-50% grows mushrooms really well and

the leftover compost is great even though it is a bit HOT.Mushrooms do have some

medicinal properties but the button variety is worthless.
