I feel like a new man I've gained 3 years of my life back! Feels so nice to be 40 years old!

I think the rest of the article was some recycled garbage tbh but life begins at 40 again!

Another old map of Stanmer, this one is probably just before they built that horrible (but nescessary I guess) A27 mycelium busting by-pass through the middle of The Great Wood, The greatest of all woods.

We've love old maps and history and we love Stanmer and we grew up in Coldean.

We're based in what is "The rural Museum" on this map, still one of the most original areas in the Park.

The first of my latest silver clay pendant designs features a couple of cute fungi and a lovely piece of Black Spinel as the central feature.

Black Spinel is said to be grounding and offers protection from negativity. Other benefits include enhanced focus and inspiration.

Come on!

In the Netherlands, mushroom farming is going vertical—literally—using tall columns made from recycled egg cartons instead of plastic trays or grow bags. Farmers compress and stack the cartons into breathable towers that stretch from floor to ceiling. The material holds moisture, lets fresh air circulate, and naturally keeps pests at bay, which cuts down on chemical sprays. Spores settle into the porous surface and sprout in conditions mushrooms prefer: dark, cool, and consistently damp. Because each column is fully compostable, the setup stays low-waste from start to finish and is easy to maintain.

These “mushroom towers” fit inside old shipping containers, empty warehouses, and other unused urban spaces, making it possible to grow a lot in a very small footprint. Oyster, shiitake, and lion’s mane varieties do especially well, whether paired with hydroponic systems or organic substrates enriched with coffee grounds and plant scraps. Water use is minimal, plastic is avoided, and yields are high. It’s a clear example of circular farming—turning everyday waste into a growing resource while squeezing more value from every square meter. By transforming humble egg cartons into productive vertical gardens, Dutch growers show how simple materials can power clean, scalable food production.
