About the event
Mushroom log inoculation is an efficient way to grow edible and medicinal mushrooms. This workshop is a very hands-on process where we will handle and inoculate logs with Oyster Mushroom spawn. These mushrooms help to decompose tree limbs that came down in the winter and reduce potential wildfire fuel which is really important in this bioregion.
Do you also want your own log to tend and harvest at home? If you are interested in bringing a log home with you, please bring your own hardwood log and we will work with you to inoculate it. We also will have logs available at the workshop.
In this workshop, you will learn the process used to inoculate logs with mycelium plug spawn (made from 1/4” hardwood dowel pins) and we will also discuss other types of spawn used in previous experiments at the preserve. These techniques apply to all types of mushrooms,…
