On our farm, Oyster and Shiitake mushroom production is a vital and nutritional element to our wider permaculture system here at PermaDynamics. 

We have, after 18 years of research, experimentation and observation, designed aproductive yet simple way of turning waste weeds, crop residues and farm grown logs into a highly nutritious and flavoursome food source.
