[Lapg] City Sustainability and fun guy

[ShellPow at aol.com]

Tonight is the LA Mycological Society Meeting!  It's at the  Museum of 
Natural History in the Times MIrror Meeting Room, 900 Expostition  Blvd, Los 
Angeles.  I think you'll find a lot of what you need on their  website 
_www.lamushrooms.org_ (http://www.lamushrooms.org)   
 
I'd love to hear more of what you do with this, Shelley

Hi Midori and LAPG,
I was wondering if there was anyone in the L.A. area (or beyond) you  might 
suggest we could contact that would help us on permaculturally-oriented  
mushroom growing: classes, stock, etc. We hope to connect it with either a  
simple aquaculture system in southeast county or a future  permaculture 
education center demonstration (we're planning) within citysphere  (somewhere) 
eventually. Please forward this as needed. Looking forward to your  reply...
Towards sustainability,
Best,
Dennis Pilien
(562)  215-2113 c
P.S. I almost forgot, I would welcome anyone to help in this  regard. I am 
trained in biology (not in the science of mushrooms) and in  aquaculture. 
Maybe we can share what we know for a better future, etc. Our  project is 
unfolding as we "speak"...
