With Dr.Karl Bleen, Researcher at IGSC, IIT Madras
Letter From Dr. Karl Beelen
I'm contacting you in relation to the garden group gathering in RA Puram of which you seem to be one of the driving forces. I'm a researcher at IGCS (indo-German center for sustainability) conducting fieldwork into grassroots initiatives in Chennai that engage with everyday spaces in the city, including gardens, rooftop gardens and organic farming.
I know there are a couple of articles about your group/association in the Hindu, but I would love to hear more about how the group works, what sort of initiatives you're working on, the people you seek to reach out to, as well as the motivations that drive you as one of the organizers of this group.
kind regards,
Karl

Oyster Mushrooms on Logs
I found these mushrooms after a lash of heavy rains for two or three consecutive days, in chennai this october.
It grew in my backyard. I was curious to know what type of mushrooms they are.
I googled and found that these can be oyster mushrooms which belong to a variety called Pleurotus.
Pleurotus is a genius of gilled mushrooms which includes one of the most widely eaten mushrooms,
P.ostreatus. Species of Pleurotus may be called oyster, abalone, or tree mushrooms, and are some
of the most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in the world
Most species of Pleurotus are white-rot fungi on hardwood trees, although some also decay conifer wood
