Interested parties can go to http://www.themushroompeople.com/showArticle.asp?id=3360. Click on the link. Reading the full text may be quite a daunting prospect – but Stalker can advise that skimming the more densely academic passages and concentrating on the background research within the mushroom industry can be very illuminating.
The researcher has definitely teased out some amazing stories from within the industry and makes his case very powerfully with all the facts and figures, and especially with personal testimony from industry workers.
