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)
