Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

Czechian Mushroom Scientist Friends Ivan Jablonský and Antonín Srb

 For quite some years Pieter had known Czechian Mushroom Scientists Ivan Jablonský and Antonín Srb.

Both of us met them also at the ISMS Congress, in Braunschweig, Germany where they lectured.

Recycled Casing Soil in the Culture of Agaricus bisporus by Ivan Jablonsky and Antonín Srb.

That was on September 20-26 of 1987, still during the era of Communism for them...

Card from Ivan Jablonsky and Antonín Srb, for wishing us a good 1987
Photo shows Pholiota Adiposa, from the Strophariaceae family and commonly known as Chestnut mushrooms.
Ivan Jablonsky did work at a Dutch mushroom farm of Gert Phillipsen in Ysselsteyn, Limburg and also attended classes at the Dutch Training Centre.
Sadly, Ing. Antonín Srb passed away 25 years ago...
Pieter still has occasionally contact with Ing. Ivan Jablonský

  4. Hello Mariette, I just looked up Pholiota adiposa and surprisingly it grows not on chestnut trees but on beech trees. The place I grew up in was named for its beech trees, but I believe that Pholiota adiposa is a European-only mushroom. However, we do have plenty of beech drops, which grow on the roots of beech trees. This is not a fungus but a parasitic flowering plant without chlorophyll.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      We both did not know about the beech drops.
      But the Pholiota adiposa for sure is not a European-only mushroom. It is a very popular cultivated mushroom in Japan and you can purchase its sawdust spawn for growing your own, even here in the USA.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  7. My father was a botanist, so I can really appreciate your careers, Mariette. He didn't study mushrooms per se, but he sure knew lots about them!
    Blessings!

      Both of us are the son and daughter of a Market Gardener so having been born into the horticulture, mycology was in fact identical.

      Thank you and yes, the Chestnut mushroom is like the famous Japanese Nameko mushroom.
