Description

Join some of your favorite ​f​ungiphiles in the last part of the cultivation series. We will now take our spawn that we created from just a little tissue culture and inoculate logs and the garden with it! Using a few methods we'll show you how you can inoculate fallen trees or stumps with these easy methods. We​'ve​ watched our mushrooms grow, now lets start to fruit them! At the end of this workshop you will also get to take home one of the kits that you made and apply all the knowledge you attained over the 3 part series!

Instructors: Ava Arvest & Raskal Turbeville
