Fun with Fungi

Inspired by the L.A. Farm Lab's use of mushrooms to rehabilitate toxic soil (mycorestoration), the Garden Team is exploring the use of classroom mushroom farms as an extension of Aveson's garden and ecoliteracy objectives.

For more information on the curative power of mushrooms check out the following topics: mycelium running,mycofiltration, mycoforestry, mycoremidiation, mycorestoration.
