"So glad to know the morels are just a little later than last year. I haven't seen any in a patch that had them last year in March. I sure hope they show up soon. I'm a little envious some of you are already enjoying them sautéed in…"

Michael J. White commented on Brendan Faller's group Mushroom group"Hi Elizabeth, I have hunted about 5 times already with no luck. We looked at Ijams, Concord park, Along Norris Freeway in a few known spots and an area past the dam. Don't think I have even been to Chuck Swan before, I may have been there as a…"
Elizabeth Morgan commented on Brendan Faller's group Mushroom group"It is time for morel hunting. I will be going as often as I can to look in likely places, one of which is at Chuck Swan WMA.

Michael J. White commented on Brendan Faller's group Mushroom group"Hey Brian, I would absolutely be interested in a hunt on your farm for mushrooms. Sorry for the delayed response, was a busy weekend. Myself and my buddy Craig even attended a mushroom growing workshop and dinner at Everything Mushrooms in Knoxville."
Brian Miller commented on Brendan Faller's group Mushroom group"Michael.
We are certainly glad you are part of the group. The group is composed of people who have an interest in mushrooms. But it has no formal structure. Feel free to post questions, pictures of finds or notices of hunting trips. Like all such…"

Alix Pfennigwerth said… - Hey Brendan.
It has been a while since I've talked with you! I'm curious about the progress on your mushrooming and urban farming ventures.
I'm interested in writing an article on your ideas and goals with it all, why you have chosen to pursue such a thing, as well as thoughts on the direction our agricultural system is going or needs to be going...
I would be submitting this to some local publications such as the Hellbender Press.
Let me know if you'd be interested in an interview.
Cheers!!
Alix

- Lets wait to use it in the final "slip" layer, where we can water it down. But if you bring it by at some point on sunday, maybe we can do a 'test' spot. ~Chad

- Yes, I'll be at the meeting tonight. See you there!

Sorry for the confusion.
The hugelkultur garden workday at the Birdhouse is still planned for the 10th, I was thinking it would be an issue being Mother's Day, but it turns out no one has big Mom Day plans. I may be out of town on Saturday and, unfortunately, be missing the mushroom workshop. =[
However, I'll be there Sunday and maybe I'll see you there.
Woot!
Cheers,
Alix

Eileen said… - Hey so I left the oyster mushrooms in the egg carton in the bag in the dark for too long, and now it has some green fuzzy mold on it. Have I failed? Or will I still get good mushrooms? I opened it today and put it in the bag on the deck where it will (hopefully) get dappled sunlight.

- Brendan: do you think it will work out alright having the big planting workday at the hugelkultur gardenbed at the Birdhouse the same day, the 9th, as the second part of the mushroom workshop?
I think it will be nice to put in some spawn in the bed at the same time, I want to make sure you're okay with this though. I rescheduled the workday from the 10th because of Mother's Day. Let me know... I don't want to steal your thunder or nothin' like that. =]
If not, see you there for an extravagant day of inoculation and germination.

- Brendan,
We don't have anything scheduled for the 9th, but we do have Phase II of the gardening workshops on the 10th. Would you be interested in piggy-backing on that event? Either way is fine with me.
