Growing Mushrooms
Come learn how to cultivate your own healthy, delicious shiitake and oyster mushrooms outdoors on logs.
We will cover tree selection and harvesting, spawn selection, how to inoculate logs, log placement and care for longevity and successful fruiting, harvesting and preserving mushrooms and much more.
This is a hands-on workshop. You’ll get to inoculate (drill, fill and wax) a log and take it home with you. You’ll gain all the knowledge and skills needed to make more logs.
Workshop led by Christina Morrison and Virgil Ryan. They have a gourmet and medicinal mushroom farm in Yancey County and have provided their region with shiitake, oyster, and foraged mushrooms since 2013. They have experience growing many varieties of shiitake for fruiting in all four seasons and different climates.
Bring water, snacks and wear warm clothes as we will be outside most of the time
Some scholarships available. If you are financially challenged contact Christina directly for sliding scale.
Workshop limited to 10 participants. All tools, materials and a mushroom log are supplied. Additional logs may be available for purchase.
