Want to learn how to grow your own Shiitake mushrooms? Here is your opportunity to learn from mycologist Paul Lagrèze, owner of New England Wild Edibles.

Learn how to drill, inoculate, and wax seal logs for future harvesting! In this workshop you will select a log, fill it with shiitake mycelium, and take it home where it will provide years of mushrooms! There will be step by step instructions, a discussion on how to care for your log, and a demonstration on how to inoculate your log with mycelium.

Shiitake are long prized for their delicious flavor and anti-cancer, anti-tumor properties. Due to their adoptogenic quality, these mushrooms strengthen the whole body! They reduce stress and inflammation while boosting the immune system!

This workshop fills quickly; early registration is suggested.

Saturday the 18th is currently full and we are only taking registrations for Sunday the 19th.
