Come to Strawbale Studio and tour our setup where we grow 5 different types of mushrooms (Shiitake, Oyster, Lions Mane, Turkey Tail  and Wine Cap). See three different strategies for growing: Log Inoculation, Totem and Garden Bed. Also learn principles of growing, log and location selection, fruiting procedure and where to get spores for your own future mushroom adventure!  We have been growing Shiitake mushrooms since 2013!

In addition to touring the different growing areas, the workshop will include locating & describing the felling of an appropriate tree, and the HANDS-ON inoculation of your Shiitake mushroom log!  At the end of the day, take home your 12″ inoculated mushroom log. This is the beginning of your almost year-long home project ~ tending to and growing Shiitake mushrooms.

And, as an option after the workshop… you’re invited to stay on if you wish from 6-8 pm. You could bring supper for yourself or food to share.  Whoever stays can enjoy a meal around the bonfire or by the wood stove in the Strawbale Studio!  You are also invited to walk on the land.
