Meet the Pearl River County Couple Living in the Magical World of Shroomdom
There just might be more to Pearl River County than you think. Get off the beaten path, take the byways that meander through beautiful farm land and forested rolling hills, and if you are lucky enough to find your way down Sam Smith Road, and then Tom Chance Road, you just might find, at the end of a long and winding gravel road, the magical kingdom of Shroomdom.
You may think I am making use of poetic license by calling this mushroom farm a kingdom, but that is because you have not met Leilani Rosenbaum and her husband, Tony. Within a few minutes of meeting Leilani, she was telling me about the three “M’s” of mushrooms: magical, mystical, and miraculous. And that was just the beginning of a very magical day.
