Join Amy and Mickey from Little Acre Gourmet Mushrooms for a fun discussion on:
- What is a mushroom?

About your host
Urban farmers Amy and Mickey Pascoe, founders of Little Acre Gourmet Mushrooms, are on a mission to educate people about the fascinating world of fungi.
Many people’s limited experience of mushrooms in Australia means they are in the dark about fungi and the vast array of varieties people can grow and eat themselves.
The pair have developed mushroom grow kits and a practical online course to share their mushroom methods with the wider community and spread the word about the amazing benefits mushrooms can have on our wellbeing and the wellbeing of the environment.
