Health officials are worried about what might happen if people are infected with bird flu and seasonal flu at the same time. It’s possible the viruses could swap gene segments, in a process that scientists call reassortment.

    I do dream of the day I can buy more than mini bellas and white buttons at the store. Give me a nice big chunk of lionsmane or a bag of chestnuts

      So… You just want more than 1 option at the store?

      White button, baby bella/cremini, and portabello mushrooms are all the same mushroom, just at different maturity.

        Yes, but they taste different. If I’m at a store that only offers fresh shiitake and dried shiitake, that’s still two different types of mushroom they have on offer.

      Lions Mane doesn’t ship very well for commercial purposes. You might find it at markets… But you’re best off growing it yourself.
