Confirmation of what other SEC fans have always suspected.

Enjoy your mushrooms.

Monterey Mushrooms in Loudon, just outside Knoxville, is the lucky recipient of three to five trucks full of "deposits" a day.
The scat serves as a base.
"What mushrooms need to grow is, they need fiber and carbohydrates," Ghiglione explained.
In these rooms, proteins and chicken "nuggets" (not from a Happy Meal) are added, and pasteurization kills the nasty.
The Portabello, Baby Bellas, and white basic mushrooms grow and are picked fast, and then they're off to...
Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe's, and Kroger,” said Ghiglione.

It has to go somewhere. Can't stay here.

Most memorable quote from the article:
“..for us in the mushroom business, that’s the smell of money”

Sounds like my last job. Kept in the dark and covered in crap.

Thought it used to go to Woodford County and the caves down there. Local boy makes good story. Local grown shrooms to the local folks.
Organic cow poop grows the best psychedelic shrooms (allegedly)

Cal didn't like being around people that refer to manure/shite pit as a poo pit

Makes sense.

Potential job opportunity for Serraneaux?

The process starts in each barn where it's the duty of a couple of employees to grab a shovel and start scooping. "Twice a day, minimum, they go in and clean those stalls, where the wet spots are and the manure, and they basically bring in a wheel barrel and haul it out,” Hargrave said. Poo pits are strategically placed backside, fittingly, on both sides of most barns.
This sounds familiar with our neighbors to the south and west.

I’m glad Knoxville does this. Kentucky is shitty enough already.

Fitting destination for a town that has a vile fanbase.
Ouch...you got us. We have a mushroom farm that cranks out 600,000 pounds of mushrooms per week and employs over 500 people. They could sell the manure to Kentucky-based mushroom farms, but apparently they are too poor to pay for it.
Every time you eat a mushroom, know that it could have been one of these grown in Kentucky horse poop. That should make you proud, I guess.
