Eeei!
Not sure we can contain our excitement! Check out our harvest from the other day in the fungi greenhouse. We ate pearl oyster, blue oyster, garden oyster and king oyster! How amazing is that.
We aren’t able to produce enough fresh mushrooms to sell (that is not our goal) but we are so pleased with this setup. (Inspired by What the Fungus.)
Meghan, I am STILL on an absolute high after visiting Akesi Farms with Gus Yaki and the gang on 29 July 2018. Sorry we missed you, as you weren’t back from your journey (mixed emotions, I would imagine). I could not believe the amazing mushrooms that were emerging from several of the bags of sawdust in your greenhouse. I honestly wondered at first if they were perhaps ceramic or alabaster “samples” that were placed on top of the bag, to show what species was in each bag! They were SO perfect and elegant and made beautiful photos! I’d be happy spending hours photographing them and the ones that are growing in the stacks, lol. I have some of my photos from that day on Flickr, but still haven’t got round to adding the rest and writing a description of our most recent visit to your place. Instead, I added the description from our first visit. As for the Afternoon Tea- what an absolute treat! I never just sit and relax, but I sure did that day, sitting outside, enjoying all the wonderful goodies and cold drinks! Andrew did such a great job. I have also been enjoying some rhubarb (and custard) that I brought back home : ) You guys work so hard and you should do really well. I love telling people about all the things you are doing. Many, many thanks for having us out there again – such a treat! Take care. Anne
