Mushroom Growing Basics with Paul Lagreze of New England Wild Edibles

Grow Food Northampton Organic Community Garden (140 Meadow Street, Florence, MA 01062)

Food/Drink
Paul Lagreze of New England Wild Edibles will join us for a second year, offering a hands-on workshop to grow gourmet mushrooms for the Giving Garden. Paul will demonstrate mushroom growing techniques on logs and wood chips. Working in pairs, we will learn and practice step-by-step inoculation of shiitake mushrooms on logs. Participants will prepare a mushroom log for themselves and for our Giving Garden so that we can continue to provide fresh, high-quality produce to our local partner organizations. This event is free and open to the public. Donations to offset the costs of the workshop are welcome, and we'll pass around a basket at the event.
