"I would love to bring my class here on a fieldtrip! I've been interested in mushroom growing for a long time. Reading books is not a nearly as helpful as seeing you. I hope I have a great garden this year."
"I loved detail in the demonstrations - actually did each step. Great food! Nice to have handouts on each topic to reduce note taking - Thanks"
"Awesome as expected"
"Appreciated variety of growing methods reviewed. Greenhouse classroom wonderful + food delicious. Whole experience was a delight. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge. :)"
"This whole concept is very exciting. Thanks Tradd, for the fun and interesting presentation"
Fungi produce powerful enzymes that are capable of breaking down complex, toxic molecules and pathogenic organisms.
Mushroom spawn can create a network, or living "filter", on a wide range of substrates. Miles of mycelia per cubic inch of media, the cellular walls of fungi sweat a mixture of enzymatic molecules that are programmed to adapt.
Fungi are opportunistic and respond quickly to environmental disasters.
Mushroom Mountain promotes the study of mycology, sustainability, and organic agriculture.
We are surrounded by agricultural and industrial waste that can be converted into fuel, medicines, and edible protein. The cycle of life is a constant balance of strength and weakness. Fungi are opportunistic and can be trained to decompose specific pathogens. Recycling tree waste video.
Mushroom Mountain's spent growing media is at the perfect stage to introduce into contaminated environments. The enzymes are at their apex of production and bioremediation potential. Fungal systems can be hybridized with traditional vegetative or bacterial remediation systems to produce an ideal model for different applications. Vegetation that has hyper accumulated metals or toxins can also be removed from a contaminated system, dried, and remediated with fungi. Complex hydrocarbons and chains of toxic molecules are degraded into forms that are easily digestible for the environment, thereby improving air and water quality for future generations to enjoy. Species sequencing can also be applied to degrade a complex of contaminated media by phasing the process using fungi with unique enzymatic properties.
Anyone can help the gulf oil spill by finding these or any mushrooms along or near beaches, dune vegetation, mangrove trees, on driftwood, and near marine estuaries. We are looking for salt-tolerant strains that can be tested for their ability to break down oil, chemical pesticides, and fertilizer runoff. Download PDF File Here
