Did you know you can grow edible mushrooms in your backyard? Shady, oak-filled yards are perfect for many types of mushrooms, and they can enhance your cooking as well!
In this free workshop, Jason Schmidt, a local gardener, will explain the basics of growing shiitake, oyster and the “garden giant” wine cap mushrooms, from the inoculation stage to the care of the log or bed, harvesting and how to use them in your cooking. At the workshop, you will also have the opportunity to sign up to make your own Shiitake log on March 7 at the Winter Farmers’ Market at an “Inoculation Station” that we are hosting. Cost is $20 per log, and reservations are required. A portion of proceeds from the Inoculation Station will to toward the Power of Produce Club for children at the market.
