The Fungus Among Us: How Fungi Power Plants & Animals with Josh Partridge, Mushroom Farmer and Owner of Mush!

Josh Partridge is the owner of Mush!, an urban mushroom farm in uptown Charlotte. Mush! grows gourmet mushrooms from wood byproduct from local lumber manufacturers. Mushrooms are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and micronutrients. Fungi, which create mushrooms, convert decaying matter into usable nutrients for plants, but they can also create useful goods like leathers, cosmetics, insulations, packaging, and even meat substitutes from “waste” materials. Located at the Innovation Barn, ground zero for Charlotte’s transition to the circular economy, Mush! is a living lab where fungi give waste a second life.
