Discover the magic of backyard mushroom growing! Join our master gardener, Mark, in this eye-opening workshop where you'll learn the ins and outs of cultivating three easy-to-grow mushroom varieties: Shiitakes, Oysters, and Wine Caps.
Not only will you learn about the life cycle and needs of these fungi, but you'll also discover the benefits of using straw or wood chips as a growing media and how to utilize every part of a tree for mushroom cultivation.
In this class, you'll:
- Learn how to source, age, and prepare logs for inoculation
- Discover low-cost tools and materials for growing less than 100 logs
- Learn advanced techniques for producing 100s-1000s of logs (if you want)
- Get tips on how to safely handle and care for your logs
- Learn how to set up a simple "assembly line" and work with friends and family to inoculate dozens of logs for less than $200
- And much more!
