Captivating!
Although I am not a mushroom cultivation beginner I found Daniel’s overview on mushroom cultivation captivating and with some novel details. He uses simple terminology, the material is easy to follow, and I felt indrawn in his story. Excellent base to begin with! Maybe I am too much into mushrooms, however, there is always something to learn and Daniel has real experience in this field and the passion to show and share it! Thank you, Daniel!
