Model Forest Workshop: Intro to Shiitake Growing

 Saturday, April 11, 2020

10:00am - 12:00pm Clearpool

Campus 33 Clearpool Road Carmel, New York


The Lower Hudson Valley is filled with magnificent forests which benefit wildlife and filter our drinking water. These forests also support our communities and a uniquely delicious product, the shiitake mushroom. Get a hands-on introduction to producing log-grown shiitake. You will learn what makes shiitake mushrooms a fantastic local product and be guided through the steps for growing them by inoculating your own log. This introductory workshop is designed for adult participants and held in partnership with natural resource professionals from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County. The session will include an indoor component and an outdoor demonstration; participants should dress for the weather that day. Questions?
