The Mill Spring Ag Center is hosting a “Growing Shiitake Mushrooms at Home” workshop, presented by The Cliffs Organic Farm, Saturday, March 26 at 1 p.m. The cost includes your inoculated log to take home.
Mark Skowranek, organic farming specialist at Cliffs Organic Farm, will give the presentation and live demonstration for workshop attendees. He will cover all the steps in mushroom production on logs from selecting the proper trees to cut, the inoculation process and where to place the logs to assure a harvest of mushrooms. Learn how a properly prepared log can produce mushrooms for up to five years, with several “flushes” of mushrooms per year.
During Skowranek’s demonstration, the class will prepare their own log to take home.
