Growing 35,000 LBS Per Week And Showing What's Possible With Mushrooms (The Mushroom Show Ep 23)
Mushrooms are booming, but it hasn't always been that way. Just a few short decades ago, most people had probably never even heard about many of the "exotic" mushrooms which are becoming so popular today. But that didn't stop the Garrone family from starting the now iconic California based mushroom farm known as Far West Fungi. Today, they are growing 35,000 lbs of fresh exotic mushrooms every week, and showing the world what mushrooms are capable of through their unique mushroom store and eatery. In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we go on a tour of their Moss Landing farm and their Santa Cruz mushroom store to learn what it's all about.We'll also be digging into functional mushrooms and the science of longevity, with a new paper outlining the best research on whether or not mushrooms can help us live longer.0:00 Intro0:49 Far West Fungi11:27 Can Mushrooms Help Us Live Longer?23:43 Outro
