Outside of Olympia, WA, nestled in the majestic trees of capitol forest there is a sweet, budding, family run mushroom farm called Provisions. Christian, the founder of Provsions, is a soft spoken sweet natured family man who studied with Paul Stamets at fungi perfecti to establish a foundational understanding of commercial mushroom cultivation. They have had a Mushroom CSA (community supported agriculture) box ava
ilable for a few years and have just recently started frequenting the Olympia farmers market which runs Thursday through Sunday from 10am-4pm. At the Farmers market they sell; plug spawn, mycelial inoculated bags(home growing kits), gourmet mushroom baskets and offer an aray of information and pleasant conversation to all whom are interested in learning more about mycelium. Over the last couple months I have trekked out through the beautiful forest to help out on the farm. One day for cooking sawdust and plugging some alder logs and a couple helping inoculate in the lab. (Amazing!!!) I was working with Christian and John for these days and they were both patient and informative. Below is a link to their website, check it out!!
