Best Practices

Various organizations and agencies are developing 'best practices' for mushroom cultivation. Best Practices define implementable, state-of-the-art ways of doing certain things in mushroom cultivation. To date, the emphasis has been on environmental protection and food safety. Implementing best practices can often make it easier for your farm to get necessary permits and will make you a better neighbor.
