Mycelial Connections

By Melanie Andromidas

Connections are the heart of life. Here at Mossy Creek Mushrooms, we’ve had a great time building relationships with business owners, growers, restaurants, and people we’ve met, however, we feel it’s time to branch out and build up a larger colony of connections around our passion for mushrooms. We’ll start with building up communications and interacting on social media more.

After several months of being bogged down with work and hectic lives, my brother Ben and I went on a hike together to reconnect with each other and nature. Following the designated path wasn’t on our agenda that day; we followed the sites instead. We saw several interesting mushrooms during our explorations, and in fact, Andrew is in the process of cloning an oyster mushroom we brought back for him.

Videos of hiking adventures similar to ours will be part of a variety of what will be featured on Youtube. Some of the cloned strains, along with some new commercial varieties, like the Bear’s Head pictured below, will be coming to our online store.

If reading is more up your alley, we’ll be posting on the blog regularly again as well. Many of the topics will coincide with the Youtube channel, exploring multiple aspects of a mushroom growing business, cataloging strain trials, recipes, and more, while others will delve more into the potential benefits mushrooms bring to the world.

Finally, the newsletter is getting rebooted! We are starting fresh with some reformatting and exclusive information, so even if your were subscribed before, you’ll need to sign up again.
