This event will introduce three basic methods of growing mushrooms including bucket cultivation, log inoculation, and wood chip cultivation. In addition to the basic process behind each of these methods, we will also discuss the materials and supplies needed for at-home mushroom cultivation as well as where to source these supplies. Time-permitting, we will also discuss basic mycology and the health benefits of mushrooms.
