Mushroom Adventures

In the Jan. 26 "Wall Street Journal" there's an interesting story about home mushroom-growing kits, with photos of shiitakes, portobellos and other varieties. I scanned it eagerly, looking for the words "Kennett Square"...but alas, to no avail. There is, however, an amusing quote from the president of the American Mushroom Institute, Laura Phelps:
"If it gets kids eating mushrooms, then that's great...But you'd be better off economically going to the grocery store."
Kathi Lafferty told me that her Kennett Square shop, The Mushroom Cap, stocks several of the growing kits, and she said that one of the people mentioned in the story, Donald Simoni, sold his kits at the Mushroom Festival a few years back.
