Mushroom Cultivation Workshop
Sunday, June 5, 9:00am-12:00pm
@ Lone Birch Stables, 5668 US Route 11, Homer NY 

Would you like to  learn how to grow your own mushrooms? Learn various techniques for two different species. Learn where to place the logs and how to fruit. Get to take home a log which will produce this year and for years to come.

Growing mushrooms from thinned trees and firewood tree tops is one way landowners can help feed themselves with otherwise scrap wood. Log grown mushrooms are of better quality than other commercially, sawdust grown mushrooms. Growing your own mushrooms at home is a fun ’side’ project for all ages.  With just a little care, you can harvest each log for up to 3-4 years.   Pre-registration is required and only space for 20 registrants. To register or for more information call Jared Popoli at (607)591-2782 or email terrapinstationed AT hotmail.com . There will be a fee of $20 per person to cover costs of materials.
