Pressure Canner


The 'All American' presure canner look pretty good. It dosn't use a seal, which is another nice thing.

Elm Oyster Mushroom


This might be a better mushroom for me to grow than the oyster.

This is a description of it at Kaw Valley Mycological Society.

These are not suppose to taste as good as the normal oster mushrooms. However, they are suppose to have some health benefits in the form of immune-enhancing, cancer-protective properties. It is also suppose to help with inflammation when applied external to the skin.

You can get these from Fungi Perfect and from Shaman Shop (who gets it from Fungi Perfect). Cost about $20.
