It's #NationalMushroomMonth!

Not just for pizzas and salads, did you know that mushrooms are vital to ecosystems as decomposers, nutrient recyclers, and soil enhancers? They help sustain plant growth, biodiversity, and carbon cycling. Beyond what you see on the surface, mushrooms are part of a larger underground network called mycelium, which breaks down dead organic matter such as leaves, wood, and animal waste. This decomposition releases essential nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus back into the soil to support plant and soil health, as well as water retention!
