Interesting!

If Spring conditions are right - rainy and with a nice, gentle warm-up - we are swimming in Morel mushrooms in our woods. They can go for $50 a pound around here - but I ain’t selling!

We also have a few fallen Elm trees that grow the Golden Oyster mushrooms. I prefer the Morels and Beau like the GOs better, so we both win. :)

At my other farm I had a field stone basement that stayed at 55 degrees year-round. The mushroom kits you could purchase (from Jung’s) would grow really great Baby Bella mushrooms down there for weeks and weeks. Of course, I STILL have a field stone basement at this farm...but it’s full of Boy Junk. ;)

Yeah - Beau has SO FEW FLAWS as a Human Being that I have to complain when I can, LOL!

There was a place outside of Racine I think, route 20? A couple of large metal sheds. A polish couple who grew mushrooms. Buy direct from the grower. It was great. There was also a pick your own strawberry patch not much farther up the road. (And on the way back home we got Kakauna Club cheese and some bratwurst.)
