Workshop Summary New York was once a hotbed for mushroom cultivation, and the past few years have seen a resurgence of interest in this ancient art. As the local and health food movements evolve, the niche for sustainably produced healthy New York mushrooms has been steadily growing.
SPECIALTY MUSHROOM CULTIVATION History and economics of mushroom cultivation, plus hands-on log inoculation
The workshop will begin with an hour-long talk covering the history, economics, and production systems of specialty mushroom cultivation with a focus on logbased production of shiitake. The remainder of the workshop will consist of a hands-on mushroom log inoculation and an in-depth explanation of the process. A light lunch is included. Who Should Attend? Farmers who are looking to add variety to their farmstand or direct retail offerings will be interested in growing a crop of shiitake because most of the work occurs in the off-season and can easily be fit into firewood harvesting or other winter forest activities. Homeowners will love the fresh mushrooms bursting with flavor and packed with nutrients as well as the wonderful garden compost that can be made from spent logs.
Sunday April 10, 2016 10 am - 2 pm Hudson Valley Lab Diversity and Inclusion are a part of Cornell University’s heritage. We are a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities.
