Subject: [piw] Shiitake mushroom workshop

Hi there everyone,

The Shady Grove Farm will be hosting a Shiitake Mushroom Production 
Workshop in conjunction with NC A&T Sate University and the Person County 
NC Cooperative Extension Service.  The workshop is on March 26, 2005, 
from  8AM-5PM.  

Come and learn all about shiitake mushrooms and their production.  Great 
for anyone who wants to learn more about mushroom production on the home 
or farm scale.  We will discuss resources, choosing and cutting logs, 
spawn inoculation, storage of inoculates logs, and general shiitake 
production.  This is a hands on/working workshop.  You will drill logs, 
inoculate them with spawn and seal them with wax, and see logs from past 
years in current production.  A great experience.  We will process about 
400 logs.  This is an all day event,  come prepared, dress appropriately, 
bring gloves, and bring drinking water 
Dr. Omon Isikhuemhen from NC A&T State University will be on hand to talk 
about his program to help NC farmers get into mushroom production and 
potentially be a part of a Mushroom Growers Cooperative.  The program 
gives shiitake mushroom spawn to farmers who agree to participate in the 
program.  

Lunch will be provided.  The workshop is free. Yes free!
