Hi All, Well, it's that time of year again! After receiving many requests from folks on the western side of the Great Lake State, we have finally put together a mushroom-growing workshop for western Michigan!!! Easygrow Mushrooms and Composting will be hosting a workshop on "Growing Gourmet Mushrooms on Logs" on October 11, 2014, from 1 pm to 4 pm, at the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute in Hastings, Mi. The workshop will start with an in-depth presentation on the basics and nuances of inoculating and growing Shiitake, Reishi, Oyster, Hericium and other mushrooms on logs. Participants will then get hands-on experience inoculating their own mushroom log (that they will bring home with them at the end of the workshop) with the mushroom culture of their choice. Cost of the workshop is $65, and includes your log, handouts and 1 on 1 instruction with mycologist Chris Wright. This workshop is a must for anyone contemplating to grow mushrooms in their garden at home, or integrating mushrooms as a profitable crop on their farm. For more information or to sign up, contact the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, 701 W. Cloverdale Rd. Hastings, MI 49058. 269-721-4473. www.cedarcreekinstitute.org All the best, The folks at Easygrow Mushrooms and Composting LLC
