We will hike around lower Frick from 6-7:15pm. Hitting spots long the ways to find late spring mushrooms and learn the basics of mushroom identification! Afterwards, we will meet back to lower frick parking lot area to partake in the cultivation workshop.
Throughout the workshop, attendees will gain hands-on experience in selecting and preparing logs, inoculating them with shiitake mushroom spawn, and properly caring for their mushroom logs to encourage healthy growth.
They'll also learn about the ideal environmental conditions for mushroom cultivation and how to troubleshoot common challenges that may arise.
By the end of the workshop, participants can expect to leave with a deeper understanding of fungal biology, practical skills in mushroom cultivation, and a sense of empowerment to continue their mushroom-growing journey at home.
Additionally, they'll be able to enjoy the many health benefits associated with shiitake mushrooms, such as immune system support, cardiovascular health, and potential anti-inflammatory properties, making this workshop not only educational but also a delicious investment in their well-being.
