Mushrooms are simply fascinating, with their ability to delight the eye, sate the taste buds, ignite good health, and perpetuate biodiversity. With thousands of species, each with unique shapes, colors, and properties, mushrooms play a crucial ‘recycling’ role in every ecosystem.
They can break down organic matter, recycle everything from wood to nuclear waste. Mushrooms also provide a sophisticated communication and nutrient delivery network of fungal threads called mycelium to facilitate nutrient exchange.
Even if we devoted the rest of our lives to mushroom study, we wouldn't even know 1%. It is truly the least researched and richest field of science in terms of solving the world's problems. At The Mushroom Lady, we're obsessed with not only these adorable little power packs of nutrients, but are also devoted to learn and share genetic, ecological, and industrial fungal applications and innovations. Below is an introduction to some wonderful mushrooms, provided to us by natural and local farms, for you to use in delicious, healthy recipes and in jaw-dropping innovations.
