Updates and ideas

[Max Brotman]

Hi everybody. Heres what I would have shared at the meeting if it wasn't double booked.

Im talking to them about doing a workshop in a month or two, mushroom logs in the greenhouse and maybe a worm bin. 

Ive been working on a new project, using wild harvested sticks as plug spawn for logs, and matching species of sticks and trees and fungi, for instance chicken of the woods on eucalyptus sticks for eucalyptus trees/stumps, or oyster on acacia sticks for acacia logs. 

Ive been thinking tword developing methods for propagating mushrooms using low-carbon/renewable everything. No disposable stuff, no imported ingredients, maybe a rocket stove-autoclave somewhere..?? it should be easy and repeatable.. a low carbon lab. I think this is doable. 

We should go around and do mushroom inoculations at all the urban gardens and farms and cool spots, and get more collaborative with the other groups.

Hi Max, I want to help with the non-disposable propagation work. Let's talk tomorrow. I should arrive between 7-8. See you then!
