It’s not true that boletus mushrooms that turn blue when cut are poisonous. In Europe they are considered delicacy and we have picked them whenever we could find them here in Australia as well. We have NEVER been sick from eating them. The only thing you have to remember is not to drink any alcohol with the meal of these mushrooms as the alcohol will turn these mushrooms toxic.

I have previously grown oyster and successfully sold them on a local market in Uganda, but it was limited, I need to graduate to a commercial market, but with intent to grow and export oyester and shiitake, can some one advice me on how to access such market?

Oh and BTW for the radiation studies have found that micro organisims help reduce it as does the mycilian, Pretty sure a farm near Fukushima has show 0 efects of the fall out.. Thats news just in, In the Bokashi/EM-1 world. maybe this will help.

Paul is the King!! Ive just finished 2 of his books and read them with eagerness every day.. How amazing are his concepts. I am endevouring to put some of his ideas into practice to harvest to regenerate and to suppliment existing and future flora.
Three things that on top of my list to do are mycology and put it into practice, Bokashi ( I operate a restaurant that im converting a couple of wheelie bins to use as buckets) and extending EM-1 into fermented bran and Bio Char. I believe that all three will co exist together and supliment what I am trying to achieve (that part isnt really all that well thought out)

I love the post you guys make Thank you so so much.

Even though we live in Texas, we are going to try and find a way to get mushrooms to produce here. If they could find them in Geoff Lawton’s Greening the Desert, I am sure we can get them here as well. I am so excited, thank you SO much for this wonderful post!

We are about 80 Km from Fukushima Daiichi. Turkey-tails eh? I’ll look into that. So far all our produce aside from mushrooms have tested below detection thresholds (16bq/kg)

I love this! My compost bin is now the host to oyster mushrooms, thanks to a former housemate that grew oysters and composted the substrate. I can’t quite bring myself to eat them, though!

Hmm. Where are you exactly? In Japan, or further afield? Might be time to be importing dried turkey-tail mushrooms and eating them as part of your family’s diet as a precaution, given their documented success with various nasties…
