I love what the woman at the above link had to say towards the end of the story above.... she lives in the Rockies and is commenting on the beetles killing off the lodgepole pines in her area (part of the Dwarf Mistletoe eco-cycle).
We now bring furniture with the fungal wood (pine and other) into our homes.
