Mushroom farming by Paige

A farmer who grows only a hundred logs of mushrooms may not be counted as a full time mushroom grower, he can still enjoy profit from his crop. A rustic farmer who sterilizes his compost in a barbeque pit raises only 12 beads in the basement won't qualify as an official mushroom grower either, but he'll likely enjoy a ready local market for his crop.
