    I've been doing some work today on my business. In doing so I've come across a company (wrong sector) who describe their business activity as "mushroom consultants". I wondered if that is a more accurate description of the NPT. I also wondered if there is a big market for mushroom consulting.

    Why restrict ourselves? Based on the fungal expertise that has been shown in the past 24 hours, we could go for a much wider market :)

    I expect it's available in all the most disreputable health food shops as well as the more morally dubious corners of ebay. :eek:

    Some of the things that people post links to on the Ebay board are certainly eye opening!

    That's the way it is with fungi . Some of us eat them and, judging by the knowledge shown in the posts they've tried to eat some of us. :D

    Hmm... from what I hear it's quite a large market. I'm not sure there's mushroom for expansion.

    I just love this. The colour the texture everything (was it viva who introduced me to this website?). If i were richer this would be the choice for above my kitchen island. But i need three of them. Three pendant lights, nine of those hanging glistening bubbles of misty river lake colored bubbles would please me no end, but too expensive. I do still think its just wonderful. In the extreme. I want to be that light.
    I look at those and think "they won't throw out much light... useless"

    Having crumbly dry earwax is supposed to cut your risk of breast cancer in half, I gather. :beer:
    Do you eat it as is, or make a sandwich of it?

    Top tip for cheap socks.... 7 pairs for £2.50 in Asda - if you want white. I had a choice of socks, or what they call trainer liner socks.... went for the trainer/liner style. Kids' section. The ones I've got are for size 4-6.5, so plenty big enough for those of you with big baffs.
