The Lower Hudson Valley is filled with magnificent forests which benefit wildlife and filter our water supply. Our forests also support our communities and a uniquely delicious product, the shiitake mushroom. In this workshop, you will be given a hands-on introduction to producing log-grown shiitake. You will learn what makes shiitake mushrooms a fantastic local product as well as take the first steps in production 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 and the Watershed Agricultural Council. The session will include an indoor component and an outdoor demonstration, so we ask participants to dress accordingly.
