Mushroom Farming Workshop

We harvested some freshly cut maple and oak, got some inoculated wood dowels, and now all we need is you to start growing food. We’ll be growing oyster mushrooms — a culinary mushroom prized for its resilient growth. We’ll plug maple logs with this mushroom, then you’ll get to take the log home. We’ll also leave a few logs behind with Full Circle Community Wellness so they and their clients can enjoy the fruits of our — and the mycelium’s — labor!

We will have everything needed to complete the workshop, but in limited quantities. We have plenty of logs, spawn, and wax, but if you have a power drill and/or rubber or wooden mallet, please bring it. We will be using a 5/16″ drill bit, so if you have one of those, bring it as well. We will have more drill bits than drills, so no worries if you don’t have one. Eye protection is also recommended.

We’ll be plugging the logs together, but we’ll also be discussing wood selection, mushroom selection, where to put your plugged logs, and just marveling at the power of our fungi friends.
