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)
