Some of the most beautiful countryside anywhere can be found in south eastern Pennsylvania. The rolling countryside contains winding brooks, picturesque homes, horse farms, vineyards and, of course, mushroom farms.

Kennett Square, the town where Flickerwood Wine Cellars Tasting Room (host of my art exhibit) is located, could well be called the mushroom capital of the United States. (Oh, wait, I just looked it up. They call themselves the mushroom capital of the world!) This could well be the reason why the mushroom museum is located there. It is also one of the most picturesque little towns you'll find anywhere; with tree lined streets and inviting shops and restaurants.
I learned only a few months ago that mushroom farming, like growing grapes for wines, is an Italian innovation. Although the local landscape looks nothing like the Italian landscape, the climate must be similar to be so conducive to both grapes and mushrooms.
