Fill it with enough water until the mixture looks like a wet sponge. When the water begins to boil, it will kill the organisms that you want to eliminate. You might need to repeat the procedure in microwave to finish all of your sawdust.When we think of mushrooms and the southern Mexico state of Oaxaca, the first thing which traditionally comes to mind is María Sabina, Huautla de Jiménez and hallucinogenic "magic" mushrooms.
But slowly that's all changing as a result of the groundbreaking work of Josefina Jiménez and Johann Mathieu in mycology, through their company, Mico-lógica.Based in the village of Benito Juárez, located in Oaxaca's Ixtlán district (more commonly known as the Sierra Norte, the state's main ecotourism region), Mico-lógica's mission is threefold: to train both Mexicans and visitors to the country in the low-cost cultivation of a variety of mushroom species polka dot mushroom chocolate near me.
To educate about the medicinal, nutritional and environmental (sustainable) value of mushrooms; and to conduct ongoing research regarding optimum climatic regions and the diversity of substrata for mushroom culture.The French-born Mathieu moved to Mexico, and in fact to Huautla de Jiménez, in 2005. "Yes, coming all the way to Mexico from France to pursue my interest in mushrooms seems like a long way to travel," Mathieu explained in a recent interview in Oaxaca.
But there really wasn't much of an opportunity to conduct studies and grow a business in Western Europe," he continues, "since reverence for mushrooms had been all but completely eradicated by The Church over the course of centuries; and I learned that Mexico still maintains a respect and appreciation for the medicinal and nutritional value of hongos. Mexico is far from mycophobic."Huautla de Jiménez is more than a five hour drive from the closest metropolitan center.
Accordingly, Mathieu eventually realized that staying in Huautla, while holding an historic allure and being in a geographic region conducive to working with mushrooms, would hinder his efforts to grow a business and cultivate widespread interest in learning about fungi. Mathieu became cognizant of the burgeoning reputation of Oaxaca's ecotourism communities of the Sierra Norte, and indeed the Feria Regional de Hongos Silvestres (regional wild mushroom festival).
