About the event
Learn how to grow your very own shiitake mushrooms on freshly cut logs! This hands-on workshop will guide you through the fascinating process of cultivating mushrooms naturally, just as they grow in the wild. Whether you’re a beginner or a mushroom enthusiast, this workshop is for you.
You’ll get to prepare and inoculate your own log, and if you choose, take it home to enjoy years of gourmet mushroom harvests right from your backyard.
What's covered?
The mushroom lifecycle: Discover how shiitake mushrooms grow—from spores to the delicious mushrooms you’ll harvest for years to come.
Selecting and preparing logs: Learn how to choose the right type of wood and prepare it for inoculation. We’ll be working with freshly cut oak logs, ideal for shiitake cultivation.
Inoculating logs: Hands-on experience drilling holes, inserting pre-inoculated dowels, and sealing them with wax to create the perfect environment for mushrooms to thrive.
