Mushroom Inoculation Event

May 15, 2022 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Mushrooms — you know they are a versatile and delicious ingredient, but did you know exactly how amazing these organisms are and that you can grow them at home? Join us for this in-person mushroom workshop where participants will learn about the lifecycle of mushrooms, basic types of mushrooms, and cultivation methods for edible mushrooms.

Participants will have the opportunity to inoculate logs with Lion’s Mane, Oyster, and Shiitake mushrooms, and will go home with their own log inoculated with oyster mushrooms, along with instructions on growing them.

Please bring: snacks or a lunch, warm layers, work gloves if you have them (we will have some to provide), and a mask for the indoor portion.

$45/person

Students and low-income participants can register for $20/person. See this chart to check if you are income level 1 or 2 and thus eligible for the lower rate.

Location: NorthWoods Stewardship Center, 154 Leadership Dr, West Charleston, VT
