A friend sent this picture to me, and wondered what it was.

Does anyone know what it is?

Clue #1 :  Grows on the ground

This is what we are looking for! A friend sent me this picture.

Our budding mushroom farmer had success with his Shiitake grow kit!

Cathy Cripps is going to be on Montana Ag Live on  Sunday June 13. She is our local mushroom expert!

Sounds like the whole show is on mushrooms. She will probably be answering fungus questions!
