Mushroom Gardening
This 3 hour course begins with a classroom session followed by outdoor hands-on workshop.
This course teaches the techniques necessary to grow edible mushrooms in your landscape, whether it be a vegetable garden, perennial orchard or forest. We will discuss and demonstrate a number of low-tech growing methods including totem stacks which fruit in just 6-12 months for Lions Mane and 3 months for Oysters, Shitake log cultivation, and wine cap companion planting. By learning these simple techniques participants will be able to cultivate a wide variety of gourmet and medicinal species. Each participant may take home one Shitake Log. Additionally, there may be extra logs/totems or other materials available for purchase at the event.
