Ever wondered how to grow your own mushrooms right in your backyard or garden?About this Event
Join us for a hands-on, two-hour workshop where you’ll learn the fundamentals of outdoor mushroom cultivation using two beginner-friendly, high-yield varieties: wine cap and shiitake mushrooms.
What you’ll learn:
- The basics of mushroom biology and what makes outdoor cultivation different from indoor growing
- How to inoculate wine cap mushrooms using straw and wood chip beds — a low-maintenance method perfect for garden borders and pathways
- How to inoculate shiitake mushrooms on hardwood logs, including log selection, spawn plugs, and sealing techniques
- Ideal site selection: shade, moisture, and seasonal timing for fall inoculation
- Ongoing care, watering, and realistic timelines for your first harvest (wine caps can fruit within months; shiitake logs take longer but produce for years)
- Tips for integrating mushroom cultivation into an existing garden or food system
Who this is for: No experience necessary! This workshop is designed for home gardeners, urban farmers, and anyone curious about low-cost, low-input food production.
All materials and tools will be provided — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get a little dirty.
