Dr. Joy Clarke, Mushroom Research Officer with Teagasc's Horticultural Development Department hosted a webinar to update the industry on the latest research on Mushroom Casing alternatives.
The main focus was on Tiernaneill Mushrooms who had used Harte Peat’s peat-free casing to successfully grow mushrooms on a full-farm scale and calculated the environmental benefits.
Paul Bishop from Tiernaneill Mushrooms explained via the webinar that the company was looking at alternatives ahead of the anticipated deadline to remove peat as a growth medium in the horticulture industry in 2030.
