Stalker can sense the excitement among the mushroom fraternity mounting, with the upcoming All Ireland Mushroom Conference just around the corner. The excitement is palpable.
Who knows what conference day will bring - new friends, new business links, new contracts? If nothing else it is a good excuse for a day out, a meal and a drink at a good hotel, and a chance to natter with old friends, and see old and new faces.
The longer summer evenings also drum up enthusiasm and good humour.
Lets hope it all translates into a superb outcome for the quintessential Irish mushroom industry event.
