How to Grow Edible Mushrooms on Logs

This event is hosted in partnership with the Cornell Small Farms Community Mushroom Educator Program and Biotech Without Borders.

Join Cornell’s network of Community Mushroom Educators and the NYRP Urban Ag team to learn how to grow Shiitake mushrooms on logs. This hands-on workshop will include plenty of opportunity to practice drilling and filling logs with shiitake mushroom spawn. In addition to experiential learning, we’ll explore the benefits of mushroom cultivation and tour the NYRP log yard, discussing best practices for maintaining a successful outdoor mushroom-growing system.

Mushroom spawn for this workshop will be created by Biotech Without Borders. Those interested in learning how to create their own spawn to grow mushrooms on logs can attend workshops at Biotech Without Borders, including one coming up on March 29. More details can be found here.
