DailyDirt: The Fungus Among Us
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Fungi are fascinating organisms. They can grow on almost anything and decompose all kinds of materials into soil and other useful stuff. Folks are finding more and more uses for these sometimes-tasty-or-sometimes-poisonous little suckers. So here are a just few fun links on fungi.- A mystery fungus that covered an entire town turned out to really like the vaporized ethanol produced by the local whiskey distilleries. So now the joke about a mushroom walking into a bar actually has a bit more to it. [url]
- If you want to learn how to grow your own fungus, there are a bunch of seminars waiting for you. You'll have to wait until 2012 for an opening, though. [url]
- Growing gourmet mushrooms can actually be a nice little business. Especially if you can grow your shrooms on waste materials like coffee grounds and sell the mushroom soil. [url]
- To discover more food-related links, check out what's floating around in StumbleUpon. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

It is weird that I got entranced by the mystery fungus story like if I was reading a mystery novel or something?
