In this one day workshop Coral will teach you how to make your own mushroom log using fresh cut logs and mushroom spawn plugs. You will be able to take home and keep your log once inoculated and grow your own edible mushrooms at home.
This course will teach you how to build and inoculate your homemade mushroom logs. Learn how to develop your own series of mushroom logs for year round culinary mushrooms.
The instructor will supply Alder and some Douglas Fir. If your plugs thrive in another species, please feel free to bring in your own log:
