Excellent comparative summary, which gave me a more accurate historical perspective. I also enjoyed reading the Colorado Sun article, Colorado’s latest tool to fight forest fires: Mushrooms. This gives an exciting option in addition to forest fire management via tree thinning. I always like to hear new applications for the amazing properties of mycellium!
I loved this article. Not really related to forestry practices, but I spent a day or two fighting wild grass fires in Colorado back in the early seventies. My Army division on return from overseas, set up shop in Colorado and during downrange live fire exercises would routinely set the dry grass on fire (probably from the incendiary rounds in the mg fire.) We used wood poles with rubber flappers to beat the fires out if you can imagine that.. Fires in the woods were another thing and I got pulled into that too, but that's a story for another day.
