In North Bellingham, there is a mushroom farm producing hundreds of pounds of mushrooms every single week in indoor warehouses. Driving by, you wouldn’t know it’s there. But what’s more interesting is that these aren’t your regular white button mushrooms you typically see on pizza or salad. Instead, they’re all exotic varieties. No, "exotic" does not mean psychedelic, rather mushrooms that are more commonly found in European or Asian Cuisine.
In this episode of Neighbor to Neighbor, host Keith Mader speaks with Alex Winstead about his story, how he went from a walk in the woods hunting mushrooms with a friend, to committing his life to growing and selling them, and also speak about mushrooms that glow in the dark, training truffle hunting dogs, and the time he tried orange pickled mushrooms in Uruguay.
