Buttons Mira is a mushroom farmer living and working in Melbourne, Australia. She runs The Mushroomery, a small urban mushroom farm that supplies the finest quality produce and preserves to some of the city’s best restaurants and farmers’ markets.
The Mushroomery was born eight years ago, when Buttons was seeking a lifestyle change after several years working in fashion and late-night hospitality. What initially began as small-scale Oyster mushroom experiments down the side of her rental property in Brunswick, soon evolved into a well-respected micro-farm that supplies the local community.
With a strong commitment to the ethics of permaculture, Buttons is on a mission to reduce waste and establish closed-loop agricultural cycles, as well as connecting urban communities with where their food comes from and how it is grown.
The Mushroomery is Buttons’ first book.
