Description

Many mushroom species love to grow on trees naturally. The easiest way to simulate this natural relationship is to inoculate cut logs with mushroom spawn. This is a low-tech, no waste, regenerative way to grow mushrooms and easy enough to do at home. In this afternoon workshop you will receive: >> Access to Chris Parker’s 30 years of experience growing and working with mushrooms >> Initial understanding of how mushrooms grow >> Overview of how mycelium creates fruiting bodies >> Learn how to select optimal logs >> Learn which woods suit which mushroom species >> Hands-on demonstration of how to plug logs >> Hand-on practice plugging a log >> Take home a log you have plugged ($25- 30 retail value) PARKING: Please allow yourself extra time to find a parking spot and walk to Sow True Seed. At this point we have sold more tickets than there are parking spots in the lot outside the store. If you need access to parking outside the store please let us know.
