BIOREMEDIATION

I say this so often, but I never cease to be amazed by God’s creation. Mushrooms being one of them. Mushroom mycelium clean the soil (oyster, reishi and shiitake mushrooms being specifically good at this). Not only that, but the spent substrate of your mushroom grow log or mushroom grow kit can be a great soil improver. Once your mushroom grow log has finished producing mushrooms, toss the used substrate into your veggie patch.

I cant help myself from sharing this photo we took while mushroom hunting. Appreciate the elements of a dead tree stump, fresh green grass and a powerful healing mushroom (Red Reishi – Ganoderma lucidim) living together so effortlessly.

Red Reishi. Natural stress relief mushroom is indigenous to South Africa.
