Each participant will take home a pre-cut log (9-12" diameter, 27-32" long) and sawdust spawn to make their own oyster mushroom totem. We'll also provide handouts on both methods. The workshop will be taught by SUNY ESF student Kayo Green, who has studied fungus-soil relations and former Extension Educator Jessica Maxwell, who has been cultivating log and wood chip grown mushrooms for almost 10 years. Three strains of oyster mushroom spawn will be available; choose your prefered strain when registering. Register early for widest selection!
