Behind the Suit: Silver Lining prez unearths the magic in mushroom-hunting
For most of us, mushrooms are simply a topping we order on our pizza. But for Silver Lining Productions president Diana Manson, they're a link to the great, untamed wilderness that cell phones, e-mail and other modern conveniences have all but driven out of our daily lives. When she's not haggling over deal points with partners for Olivia or one of the many other kidlit properties that Silver Lining is managing, Manson trades in the asphalt of New York City for 12 acres of tick-infested forest in Southwestern Massachusetts, where she gets down on all fours to ferret out fungi.
