At the All Ireland Mushroom Conference one could not have missed the theme of renewable energy and greener energy.
There were Balcas Brites sample wood pellet bags one could take - as the man said you could sprinkle them on your bran flakes of a morning.
As ever the mushroom industry is ahead of the curve when it comes to adopting and taking up new technologies.
U2 front man, jet-setting Bono, is to replace the central heating system in his rather large residence just overlooking Killiney beach, with an eco-friendly wood pellet system.
Bono could benefit from the €2,500 grant from Sustainable Energy Ireland for going green. Bono might even nip down to Leslie Codd’s new unit to have a look at how the technology works on a grand scale.
As the wood pellets champions tell us, the fuel is a greener and cheaper way to heat any property. One might even go as far to say that it probably makes for an unforgettable fire.
