Make a Mushroom Log!

Mushrooms that grow on trees and break down the wood for food, rather than in symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees are known as saprophytic mushrooms. These are the mushrooms that can be cultivated at home and include lion's mane, oyster and shiitake mushrooms. 

In this workshop everyone will roll up their sleeves and drill, inoculate, and wax logs to take home and tend until the mushrooms start to fruit. As well, everyone will learn how to make smoked and pickled mushrooms in antcipation of their logs fruiting. These are a big hit on charcuterie boards.
