Where: Edward Baker Preserve, Kettle Creek Rd. Cashiers, NC 28717
Join us on Edward Baker Preserve to transform fallen logs into a sustainable food product with mushroom spawn. Producing mushrooms at home provides a recurring food supply for years, educates people on the amazing world of mycelial abilities, while producing nutrient rich compost.
During this workshop, participants will hike a short distance and learn the basics of mushroom log inoculation; including different inoculation methods, what instruments are necessary depending on the inoculation method, and the ideal mushroom strains for our ecoregion. Participants will also receive hands-on experience and have the chance to inoculate and take home their own mushroom log.
All materials and equipment will be provided for this workshop.
Logs used for this workshop are sourced directly from Edward Baker Preserve and will be cut to size prior to the workshop. *Wood types used for this workshop will consist of tulip poplar and cherry. *
*This workshop entails some kneeling on the ground, bending, and lifting of small logs. It is not a requirement to be able to be mobile in these ways, but is helpful.*
