#Masks are not just handy to prevent #virus particles from replicating in the lungs, they're good for blocking fungal spores too! Today's epic haul of 50 spent blocks from the local mushroom farm will help create diversity in my garden's soil. The #N95 helps prevent a #mushroom farm from growing in my lungs! 🫁
