Peaks to Prairie Using Mushrooms to Restore Agricultural Soils

Peaks to Prairie follows an innovative ecological project using mushrooms to turn forest wood waste into a resource for nearby degraded farmland.

In the peaks, thinning dense forests is one way to reduce wildfire intensity. In the nearby prairie, farmland lacks organic matter. Mushrooms are the catalyst to connect these challenges into a solution. The project demonstrates a holistic approach that links ecosystems and reduces waste by completing the carbon cyc
