Magnificent Mycelium

A deeper look into the symbiotic relationship between Plants and Fungi


with Taylor Fairbrother

Fungi and plants have been allies for millions of years! Learn about the fascinating relationship between these organisms, and how to harness this ancient symbiosis to enrich green landscapes at any scale. We will discuss the use of mycorrhizal fungi, gardening with edible mushrooms, and how fungal sugars may benefit bees.

Presenter: Taylor Fairbrother specializes in mycorrhizae and beneficial fungi for the offices of Fungi Perfecti. Her educational focus in college was on Environmental Sciences and her love of the natural world and passion for gardening has led her down the path of sustainable agriculture and mycology. Taylor lives on Harstine Island and spends her free-time hiking, photographing fungi in the old growth forests, gardening, and kayaking.

Fungi Perfecti, LLC is a family-owned business out of Olympia dedicated to promoting the cultivation of high-quality gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. In business since 1980, we have been instrumental in developing new technologies and markets for gourmet mushrooms throughout the world. Through our in-depth classes and information networks, we encourage the establishment of a constellation of independent, organically minded growers whose collective consciousness will define this emerging industry well into the next century. We hope you will join us in this endeavor. The future is ours.
Their mission: To explore, study, preserve and spread knowledge about the use of fungi for helping people and planet.

Fix-It Days

June 26, 9 – 2 pm, Anacortes Farmers’ Market

After a year off because of Covid, Fix It Days returns!  Our repairmen overcome challenges ranging from broken lamps, damaged foot massagers, sawhorses that need assembly, coffee grinders that need care, and dead watch batteries.

Our staff of experienced repairmen eagerly await the arrival of your broken items. Fix It Days is held on the last Saturday during the months of June, July, August, and September at the Anacortes Farmers Market. We only ask that you make a donation you think fair for the repair, which is used to fund Transition Fidalgo and Friends projects and community services.

 

Share the Bounty Food Stands are back!

It’s mid-June and the "Share the Bounty" food stands are back in place. If you have any garden produce to share with others in our community you can bring items to any of the three Anacortes locations:

 Anacortes Public Library, south entrance
 Harbor House Apartments at 719 Q Ave, west entrance
 The Carr/LeBrun residence at 2509 H Ave



Your support helps to bring fresh, healthy food to those who have no access to such items, or have no garden of their own.

Thank you for making this program, now in its second year, a success!
 


Fidalgo Forest Stewards: Your help needed

In 2019 a couple dozen volunteers spent half a day each working with a team to study a couple of forest plots in the ACFL. These studies measured the baseline health of our local forests.

2020’s studies did not happen because of Covid.

We would like to get back and see how our forests are doing this year after the two year hiatus. We need volunteers! The work involves measuring tree diameters and other basic data in specific small forest plots.

If you are interested in helping, contact us now at info@transitionfidalgo.org
