The first mushroom farms in Europe and america were housed in caves   warehouse basements, throughout much of the year, maintain a similar temperature environment.  With careful attention to environmental factors, beginning in 2014, we've transformed Common Market's basement into a fully functioning mushroom farm, from Hyphae to harvest.  Mushrooms are back underground!  

A mushroom's needs are simple: air, light, water, moderately cool temperatures, humid microclimate, and cleanliness are the essentials.  ADd daily attention to the crop, and the mycelium provides generously in turn.  Each day we try to learn something new from the fungi on our farm and in nature, and our respect for the world of fungi increases.  This knowledge informs and transforms the farm.

mushroom farming is well-suited to the city environment. the model we've proven on our farm IS WORKABLE IN ANY CITY WHERE INDUSTRIAL SPACES AWAIT RENEWAL and communities await economic opportunity. fungi are alchemists, turning dead material into living, breathing soil, teeming with life.
