About "Us"
     Well, first, "Us" is really me,
  Ralph Kurtzman, although I do work
 with some others who may beuseful to you. My
home page tells some things about me, so this page
will fill in other information. However, if you want more
about me, you can check the Marquis Who's Who that I am
eligible for. Frontiers of Science and Technology, or those that cover the geographical areas where I live.
     If you want help with a mushroom growing business and live in a country
that gets help from USAID-supported organizations, you will want to talk to them.
USAID is some of the good U.S. Government foreign policy. If you don't know if
USAID works in your country, the US Embassy will tell you. Most countries who were
part of the Soviet Union and many African, Asian and Latin-American countries are helped.
     I consult both as an individual and in connecition with USAID. Consulting is not telling you
that I know everything and giving all the answers. I try to know as much as possible, so that I can
be as helpful as possible, but I learn when I consult. For example, there are hundreds of suitable
substrates, I am still learning about some that require special conditions. The day I stop learning will be
the day I am ready to quit. I try to help you learn to think out answers to your problems, I won't be there
every time you have a new one. However, these days I am usually available by email, SMS or telephone
     Another of my activities is serving as co-editor of Micologia Aplicada International, a small scientific
journal of applied mycology. I includes mushroom cultivation, but it also includes many other things.
