UPDATE: Due to the weather forecast, Saturday’s workshop has been moved to an indoor location at New Brooklyn Farm, and the outdoor workshop has been moved to 1:00 pm on Saturday May 21. Now you have your choice of workshop days!
Come to New Brooklyn Farm on May 7th OR the food forest on May 21st for mushroom adventures! A group of local mycophiles will lead a workshop on growing shiitake, oyster and wine cap mushrooms on logs, straw and wood chips. Participants will be able to take a log or inoculated straw home with them. Local mushroom foraging enthusiasts and members of the Mycological Society of Washington will also talk about how to safely find mushrooms in the wild. These are family-friendly events, and kids of all ages are welcome.
