Mushrooms and a place I need to visit....

A friend claims the place is incredible. Here's a link to them on Facebook. I linked to the photo page because....well, you'll see.

1. I have a story about a time we pulled the boat into

a harbor near a huge mushroom facility.

As it turns out, those white button mushrooms that are so readily available are grown under big piles of manure.

To say that this place put out a terrible smell would be a huge understatement. I swear that I woke up in the middle of the night and thought a whale had died in the harbor.

I'm not a big mushroom fan to begin with, but this really did me in.

The New Hampshire Mushroom Company will not be on my list of things I must see!

6. Another reason that even those of us who do like mushrooms may not be fans of (blah) white buttons.

From what I see, it looks like this place mostly grows cellulose eaters. It would smell like wet wood, damp paper, and a little fungal musk. No strong smells in the place.

7. There is probably a huge difference from this and what I experienced.

I actually like those really unique and generally very expensive mushrooms, but they are hard to find.

2. Been there many times.

Lived nearby for several years.
Great place, yummy mushrooms.

5. How odd...

I had vacationed here from childhood through about 1978 and then moved here permanently in 1994....
