Mushroom Cultivation

Learn all about cultivating mushrooms with Bruno Pretto and Paula Vopni of Fun Guy Farm and Mycosource Inc.

This workshop will give you an overview of indoor and outdoor gourmet mushroom cultivation for home and commercial purposes. We will cover log management techniques, material selection, log inoculation, laying yards, soaking tanks, sprinkler set-up, fruiting set-up, harvesting and storage, and how to incorporate your logs into the garden landscape. You get to inoculate your own log with Pioppino or Shiitake spawn to take home at the end of the day. We will also discuss the nutritional value of mushrooms and have tasting samples at lunch; free recipes will be available. Mushroom-related books will be offered for sale. If you are interested in purchasing extra spawn for pick up on the day of the workshop, please contact Bruno and Paula at Fun Guy Farm directly: http://www.mycosource.com
