Mushroom Cultivation: 2:00 - 4:30
Learn 3 ways to cultivate edible and medicinal mushrooms indoors and outdoors and go home with your own oyster grow kit to grow on your kitchen counter. Learn about ways to incorporate mushrooms into your landscape or garden to improve soil health while providing tasty food.
Mushroom Cultivation with Logs:
We will drill holes in logs, fill them with mushroom spawn, and seal them with wax. In one year they will fruit mushrooms. You will learn what types of wood are viable, sources for mushroom spawn, how to take care of your log, fruiting mushrooms, harvesting, and pest control. Take a log home and grow mushrooms outdoors.
