Join us for a casual and hands-on mushroom cultivation experience. Participants will create their own Oyster Mushroom log – partners or a friend is welcome to share the experience/log. Instruction will include explanation procedures, handout and a brief tune up on using powered drills. Demonstration of the proper techniques for drilling and plugging recently cut logs with fresh mushroom plug spawn. The “mushroom log” will require about 1 1/2 years of incubation time before it begins production, but once it gets going… expect mushrooms several times a year for years to come! We’ll discuss proper care and maintenance, along with tips on provoking mushroom growth. You can put these cool illuminating mushrooms logs in your flower bed, near your walk ways or where ever you may want a glowing mushroom to be seen. Space is limited, advanced registration is required.
