Saturday Hands-On Mushroom Cultivation Workshop  (9am-3pm) with Tradd Cotter:  A milestone in mushroom cultivation is to reach a level of comfort and understanding that takes you from the basic concepts of mushroom cultivation to actual hands-on experience. This intensive workshop focuses on four methods of production such as growing mushrooms on logs and stumps, wood chips and compost, agricultural by products, and consumer byproducts (coffee and cardboard). Attendees will be welcomed with printed handouts to minimize note taking, an in-depth lesson on life cycles and fruiting strategies, followed by hands-on segments for each of the four methods and leave with their creations at the end of the day. Bulk spawn will be available at a discounted rate for workshop attendees. A lesson in cultivation that lasts a lifetime! Space is limited & registration is required.  The cost is $50/person, includes all materials, and lunch will be provided.  Register below!
