            PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


            Mushrooms and Permaculture Seminar
                  featuring Paul Stamets

      Learn how to integrate mushroom cultivation into Permaculture
gardens
and land restoration projects within the surroundings of a three acre
Mediterranean Food Forest. Hosted by Davis Bynum winery and Sonoma
Permaculture, this knowledge-filled weekend course will introduce
participants to highly talented mushroom authorities, permaculturists,
and
cooks.

      Saturday will feature Paul Stamets of Fungi Perfecti, author of
*Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms*. Paul will discuss both the
integration of edible & medicinal mushrooms into Permaculture gardens,
and
the applications of mushroom cultivation to habitat restoration. Lunch
will
feature the talents of Nit Bynum, who will prepare Thai-California
cuisine
using crops gardened on-site. The day will end with light food and a
tasting
of the Bynumıs award winning, organically grown wines.

      On Sunday, Tom Alexander of Bemushroomed, and Charmoon Richardson
of
the Wild About Mushrooms Co., will discuss how to build and operate a
small
scale mushroom cultivation laboratory. There will be a demonstration of
the
procedures for growing oyster mushrooms, concluding with each
participant
making an oyster mushroom kit to take home. In addition, there will be a
session devoted to inoculating logs & wood chips with several varieties
of
gourmet & medicinal mushrooms. Relevant educational materials will be
provided. Lunch will include a mushroom cooking demonstration, and a
mushroom-filled meal from the Wild About Mushrooms co.
