Mushroom Log Inoculation Workshop
December 7 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Workshop Cost: sliding scale $0-30 – none turned away for lack of funds
This workshop is past, but please read about how to incoulate mushroom logs in our article here.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to grow shiitake and oyster mushrooms using logs from trees that fell during the storm. You will get to actually inoculate logs which will be kept at Herron Cove community (North Asheville/South Weaverville) for future harvesting.
This fun and informative session will cover:
• The basics of mushroom cultivation
• Selecting the right logs and mushroom species
• Tools and techniques for inoculation
• Tips for caring for your mushroom logs
No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. You may bring your own logs if you have any.
Spots are limited, so reserve your place today! See you there! 🌱🍄 Children are welcome to attend and participate with parent/guardian supervision.
Whether you’re a gardening enthusiast, a fungi fanatic, communitarian, or just curious about growing your own mushrooms, this workshop is for you!
We’ve got probably over ~150 logs ready for inoculation!
Poplar from Reems Creek and Oak, Cherry and some Sourwood from Herron Cove.
*everyone who stays for the whole workshop will get to take home at least one log*
remaining logs will be divided among the Herron Cove Community, the workshop facilitator and Bountiful Cities Community Gardens!
There will be some extra spawn available to take home as well 🙂
You can also bring your own logs to innoculate if you like: oak, poplar, maple and cherry are good choices. Other work trade opportunities are available if you’d like to help cut logs or prepare for the workshop in advance.
