Mushroom Gardening
This 2 hour course begins with a classroom session followed by outdoor hands-on workshop. Optional opportunity to make and take home your own Shitake Mushroom Log for nominal additional charge (pre-registration for logs required). This hands-on workshop will teach you the techniques necessary to grow edible mushrooms in your landscape, whether it be a vegetable garden, orchard or forest. We will discuss and demonstrate companion planting with mushrooms, shiitake log cultivation and explore how to make use of waste materials and neglected spaces through mushroom cultivation. This workshop will primarily focus on Stropharia (Wine Cap) and Shiitake mushrooms, but the techniques you will learn can be applied to a number of species.
Educator Bio: Dan Bensonoff is a devoted foodie, farmer, and educator. He began his mycelial adventures as a child when he would go foraging with his grandparents. The beauty of mushrooms eventually led him to try his hand at cultivation. Currently, he lives in Jamaica Plain and works as assistant grower at Newton Community Farm.
