Mushrooms Growers Choose Life Over Fast Living
Neil and Karen Neckers run a small mushroom operation using mixes of red oak sawdust millet and wheat bran. They produce shiitake and oyster mushrooms with fresh spawn, controlled heat humidity and light for steady yields. Wholesale prices run four dollars per pound for oysters and six for shiitake as they balance work with leisure.
