*GROW MUSHROOMS IN YOUR GARDEN!*
On Saturday, May 13, 9:00 am-12:00 pm, in the Emerson Brook Forest, Gilsum, NH, Mycologist, Dave Wichland will demonstrate the cultivation of the Elm Oyster and Shaggy Mane mushrooms. Both mushrooms are delicious and healthful additions to the diet and beneficial in the garden. It has been reported that they promote cardiovascular health, boost immune system, fight cancer and intestinal disease, help control cholesterol, and have antibiotic and anti-tumor properties. Elm Oyster forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, unlocking nutrients from the growing medium and feeding the roots of underlying plants. Shaggy Mane grows well in compost and manure rich soils, in deep beds of hardwood sawdust and woodchips, and in newly laid or fertilized lawns that are watered frequently.
The cost of the workshop, sponsored by The Sustainability Project and the Hannah Grimes Localvore Project is $10. Participants who want to try growing these mushrooms at home can buy a bag of spawn from the instructor for $30. For more information or to register for the workshop email Jill by replying to this message. When you register for the workshop, indicate if you'd like a bag of spawn for Elm Oyster, Shaggy Mane, or both.
The Sustainability Project promotes a love of nature, environmental stewardship, caring communities and ways of living that deepen our interconnection with the web of life The Hannah Grimes Localvore Project promotes the enjoyment of local foods.
