Already in 1981, we did have good quality Pleurotus at the Mushroom Growing Training Centre in Horst, The Netherlands
As also seen in the 14 second video above, here you see the demonstration cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus in the Fall of 1981—photo by Pieter J.C. Vedder

Pieter is wearing his Burberry suit—which he still has and it still fits as he never ever gained any weight!

We also did a demonstration of growing Stropharia
A better photo by Pieter J.C. Vedder of those Stropharia mushrooms on page 44 of our book.
Pieter made numerous photos also from mushrooms in the wild.
Seen here are tree oyster mushrooms or Pleurotus ostreatus.
That would become a nice Christmas card with the signature from all teachers:
Top the principal and teacher Pieter J.C. Vedder

Antoon van As
Peter Rechsteiner
Roel Seubring the manager of the actual production farm attached to the practical training college.
On Pieter's LinkedIn account we did share this post and Pieter got 954 impressions
Jan Smits, the Teacher/Deputy Principal Practical Training Centre for Mushroom Growing 1980 – 1984 did comment as Pieter mentioned him being briefly shown in video.
In this video clip there was an erroneous mention of Experimental Station but it was 'our' CCO (abbreviation for the Dutch Centre)!
Jan Smits replied: Indeed our CCO and of and for – at that time – approximately 800 Dutch mushroom growers and several hundreds of mushroom growers all over the world.
Pieter thanked Jan Smits for this statistical update!
Indeed very fond memories of that period.

Querida Antónia,
DeletePieter logró ya en ese entonces cultivar esos exóticos y, mientras tanto, están disponibles para todos.
Abrazos,
Mariette
What a great souvenir these photos and the Christmas card are. Thank you Mariette.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteSuch photos are history in the growing of exotic mushrooms.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette! That's interesting!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteIt is a simpler way than just collecting them in the woods.
Hugs,
Mariette
I like your new header. And seeing wonderful photos from the past. Mushrooms are amazing.
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteOh, that header is about very fond memories from Venice—my very first trip and doing international consulting: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-first-trip-to-city-of-romance-venice.html
It has forever a spot in my/our hearts!
Mushrooms are indeed an amazing cultivation.
Hugs,
Mariette
What great photos and memories, Mariette. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martha Jane,
DeleteYes, fond memories to look back on with pride.
Hugs,
Mariette
Thank you for sharing these amazing photos and memories, dearest Mariette.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings! 🧡🧡🧡
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteYou are quite welcome and I'm only glad that Pieter still is with me for reliving these memories!
Hugs,
Mariette
Bellissime foto di ricordi.Buona giornata a te e a Pieter.
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteGrazie e sono davvero bei ricordi!
Abbracci,
Mariette
Mariette,
ReplyDeleteHeel interessant en leuk.
Ik heb jullie boek ook even bekeken op deze site.
Gefeliciteerd met zoiets moois.
Ik weet hoe het voelt, je eigen boek door je handen en bekijken.
(Ik heb twee gedichtenbundels uit mogen brengen)
Wat een leuke foto van jullie samen plaatste je erbij.
Ook deze foto's zijn een prachtige herinnering.
Lieve groetjes,
Hilly
Dankjewel voor het delen.
Beste Hilly,
DeleteJa, het was een hele mega task om zo'n praktisch en toch academisch boek van 446 pagina's helemaal zelf te doen—self publishing vanwege het wereldwijd bereik. Wel met hulp van een grafisch designer in de UK om alle foto's, kleurenfoto's en tabellen etc. te plaatsen. Daar heb ik geen kennis van.
Maar het gevoel blijft hetzelfde—iets van jezelf.
Wij willen hiermee al onze vergaarde kennis door geven aan anderen.
Deze foto's zijn ook heel waardevol en het is over de pioniertijd.
Liefs,
Mariette
Beautiful memories.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteYes, very valuable ones for both of us and for once again proving that Pieter did it all before publishing his book.
Hugs,
Olá, Mariette, gostei imenso de ver esse cultivo de cogumelos, muito interessante, e que belas fotos para recordação! Muito bom colocar no blog e guardar com carinho a história de vida de você e Pieter, muito bonito tudo.
ReplyDeleteAquela sua foto de abertura do blog está linda! Que bela recordação!
Grande abraço a você e Pieter.
Prezados Taís,
DeleteObrigado por suas palavras significativas!
Tais lembranças são tão especiais para nós agora. Também mostra que realmente tínhamos uma paixão pelo trabalho e o fazíamos com o coração e a alma.
Até mesmo a foto do cabeçalho está relacionada ao meu primeiro trabalho de consultoria. Sim, dirigindo para a Itália e trabalhando com colheitadeiras. Claro que também curtindo Venic depois...
Abraços,
Mariette
