Magical Mushroom Recipes for Meatless Monday
Mushrooms are a vegetarian's BFF because their meat-like texture makes them the perfect stand-in for everything from burgers to brats, not to mention their own smoky, savory flavor. As an added benefit, mushrooms are a good source of filling fiber -- and the only natural plant source of vitamin D. Try one of these three meatless meals for your dinner tonight. (We pinkie promise you won't regret it!) (Source: The ND Blog: Notes from the Nutritionista by Monica Reinagel, L.D.N., C.N.S.)

Best Mushrooms For Meatless Dishes ('Cause It's #MeatlessMonday!)
Thanks to their robust, earthy flavor and satisfying, chewy texture, mushrooms are super-high on the umami scale. But some are a better meat substitute than others, depending on the dish. PortobelloThese caps offer a flavor and texture combo that's perfect for recipes where meat is the main ingredient, like burgers. You can also stuff them. Since one medium cap has about 22 calories, you can add avocado, pesto or whatever other tasty toppings you have in the fridge.

Superfood of the Week: Mushrooms
Though mushrooms aren't exactly bursting with the bright colors of their fruit and veggie counterparts, these fungi still hold their own in the nutrition department. (Example: A a medium-sized portabella mushroom has as much potassium as one banana.) Not only are mushrooms super-low in calories (only 22 in a cup!), but because of their meaty texture and flavor, they're also a fabulous savory substitute for everything from burgers to tacos that helps you cut serious cals, too. Go on and 'shroom with these easy recipes. (Source: The ND Blog: Notes from the Nutritionista by Monica Reinagel, L.D.N., C.N.S.)

Building Unity Farm - The Mushroom Farm Begins
Last weekend, my wife Kathy, Bill Gillis (CIO of the Beth Israel Deaconess Care Organization), and I completed 72 Oyster mushroom totems and 60 Shitake logs - about 10,000 pounds of wood requiring 3000 individual inoculations.Here's how we did it.I cut 72 two foot segments of poplar, 8 to 16 inches in diameter, from the trees we felled behind the house in the early spring when sap was flowing but leaves had not yet emerged. This wood has the maximum amount of moisture possible. Over the weekend, we cut each log into 2 one foot pieces plus a thin third piece. I purchased 6 sub-species of oyster mus...

Thursday Building Unity Farm - Creating the Mushroom Farm
I recently wrote about the planning for our Shitake and Oyster mushroom farm. Last weekend we began to build it.Using oak that we cleared during the orchard preparation process, I cut 150 four foot logs and will cut 70 more next weekend. A local farm hand and I moved them from the orchard to a shaded area under maple trees near the northern border of the farm property. We created a log storage area between two old stone walls. Next, I had to design the mushroom inoculation "assembly line". The process of inoculating logs includes drilling 5/16 x 1.5 inch holes every 4 inches around the entire ...

Building Unity Farm - "Planting" the Mushroom Farm
As I mentioned last week, we're planting the orchard and developing a mushroom farm this Spring.What is the scope and scale of the mushroom farm effort?We've cut 200 feet of poplar trees that were too near our buildings for safety. I chainsawed the trees into 12 four foot logs that 6-8" in diameter and 60 two foot logs that are 8-12" in diameter. Poplar is an ideal substrate for oyster mushrooms. Our mushroom farm supplier, Field and Forest Products, recommends the "totem" method for inoculating poplar.Here's what I'm planning for the last week of April.I've cut 192 feet of pine 2x4s into 16 inch...

Building Unity Farm - Planning for Mushroom Cultivation
In a few weeks, my wife and I will be taking down approximately 30 poplars which are growing near the house and barn. Poplars grow to 75 feet and these trees are within 50 feet of structures. We've lost many poplars in recent storms because the wood is soft and the roots are shallow. We'd rather remove them before they fall into the house.What are we going to do with the soft wood from 30 trees that are not suitable for firewood?The answer - grow mushrooms.I know that soft wood is an ideal growing medium for growing Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus)But what strain should I use? Should I gro...

2012 Fungal Genomes: a review of mycological genomic accomplishments
2012 was certainly a banner year in genome sequence production and publications. The cost of generating the data keeps dropping and the automation for assembly and annotation continues to improve making it possible for a range of groups to publish genomes.
I made a NCBI PubMed Collection of these here Fungal Genomes 2012
Some notable fungal genome publications include
the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus (your pizzas would never be the same without it)
plant pathogens Colletotrichum
comparative analyses of 18 genomes from plant associated Dothideomycetes
new microsporidian genomes including two new EncephalitozoonÂ...

Originally written earlier this month, and originally posted late November while dated "November 1" --now dated 11/25 to reflect the order in which it was posted.Ms. Dr. Hemodynamics and I got married a few weeks ago, and then went on a honeymoon. So my faithful reader(s) will be unsurprised to find that the thing I want to write about on my return is, of course, local production and the evolution of service economies. To those finding this blog with some hope of reading about medicine, I promise that this discussion, after passing through Marie Antoinette, water buffalo, goat cheese, and wine, will lead us back to medicin...
