Danny Rhodes of Desert Fungi in Velarde, New Mexico gives us a detailed tour of his greenhouse mushroom farm operation. I found the wet wall/swamp cooler system he rigged to control the temperature in his mushroom growing greenhouse in the summer especially interesting. Danny produces between 100-150 lbs of Oyster, Shiitake, and Lion’s Mane Mushrooms per week, most of which he sells at the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market and direct to local restaurants.

Thanks
for visiting The Real Know-How.
Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.
The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.
This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.
We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.
In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
