August marks the beginning of mushroom season or “Hongosto” in Mexico.

“Hongosto” is Spanish language play on words. It combines the word mushroom “hongo” and the month of August “Agosto.”

Micologica 360° disseminates the properties and applications of functional mushrooms through education, training and technical advice on identification, cultivation and processing of mushrooms in Mexico since 2010.
We work with rural communities and semi-urban populations from Oaxaca, Hidalgo , Edomex, Morelos, Queretaro, to Mexico City.
The combination of our international experiences in applied biotechnologies means that the different activities of the project take us from operating our mycological laboratory to isolate and propagate strains, provide inoculum to growers and farmers in our network, to elaborate highly functional fungal products. quality for the public, thus promoting the benefits that these mushrooms bring to our diet, health and planet.

Leopold Live! is back with Chapter Two, Episode Four – Food Stations will stream on August 24th at 10:00am CST. Leopold Live! began as a live streaming seminar series conducted in partnership with the Selah, Bamberger Ranch Preserve (Bamberger) to demonstrate to natural resource students, landowners and wildlife enthusiasts the original 5 creative methods conceptualized by Aldo Leopold in the 1930s to effectively manage game and therefore conserve wildlife ecology. The series builds on “the central thesis of game management is this: game can be restored by the creative use of the same tools which have heretofore destroyed it—axe, plow, cow, fire, and gun.”
Each month we will be joined by Bamberger ranch staff and experts in the field to explore and demonstrate each of Leopold’s five tools and to give viewers tangible practices that they can implement out in the field.
Tune in to NRI’s Facebook page to ask questions, connect and learn about these essential tools for wildlife habitat management on your property.

Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District – Water-Wise Speaker Series
For more information contact Charlie Flatten, General Manager at gm@haysgroundwater.com or 512-858-9253
The Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District has announced its 2021 Water-Wise Speaker Series. Subject matter experts will discuss a variety of water topics important to Hays County residents. Tune in September 2 at 6:00 PM to hear about Wimberley’s One Water School from Nick Dornak, Director of Watershed Services at The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment.
Hays County is listed by the US Census Bureau as the second fastest growing county in the United States. Great schools, good housing, proximity to growing business opportunities, and a beautiful landscape are all drivers for our growth.
Its most precious resource is water. The Trinity Aquifer deep below has a limited recharge capacity and will not support the growth coming in the next 20-years. The County needs to maximize efficiency of use and diversify its water supply portfolio to keep local communities healthy and viable long into the future.
Rainwater is already being collected on homesteads and larger buildings across Hays County. Water-wise landscaping, land conservation, and climate trends are all important parts of a strategy to protect our aquifers.
Speakers will present at 6:00 live and online. Dial-in information will be on the District website www.HaysGroundwater.com the week before each presentation. Check the schedule for upcoming dates.

Online - Highway Expansions: Why are We Still Doing These Projects??
2021-09-21 18:00 - 20:00 | Online
Our September general meeting will be a panel discussion featuring:

Harrison Humphreys (Transportation Policy Advocate, Air Alliance Houston)
Jay Blazek Crossley (Executive Director, FarmAndCity.org)
Michael Moritz (ConnectGen, and native of San Antonio)

For Texans, transportation is our largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing emissions associated with building and maintaining roads, and driving our cars and trucks, is one of our greatest and most urgent environmental responsibilities. In the ways we have built our communities and transportation systems, Americans have created a dependence upon cars and roads, much more than most people on the planet. And Texans live some of the most environmentally damaging lifestyles in America.

“I-10 Katy Freeway from the HOV Lane.” by Saturne is licensed with CC BY-SA 2.0. View a copy of this license

Texas’ transportation planning has failed its people, with high rates of traffic deaths, unhealthy air, inequitable distribution of costs and benefits, and lots of greenhouse gas emissions. Of the 25 largest metros in the nation, San Antonians have one of the highest average per capita vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Just think how many miles you must drive to get to work, visit friends, shop, etc. – warming the planet while we do it!

A movement is growing across the state, to reform our transportation policies, spending, and planning system. Grassroots groups and non-profits are working against freeway widening projects in Houston, Austin, Dallas, El Paso, and across the state and the nation and beyond, toward a more sustainable, equitable future for all.

Our panel will address these and related issues, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.

RSVP for this event here!
