Edible mushrooms have important medicinal and culinary uses, and they are relatively easy to grow once you have the supplies and know the techniques. This class will begin with a lecture covering the most common home and commercially grown mushrooms, including identification, practices, procedures, and equipment. The class will also include a lab session where you will inoculate logs (shiitake), as well as straw and coffee grounds (oyster mushrooms). The session will conclude with a discussion of the mushroom business. Please bring a clean, wide-mouth quart jar and about 4 cups of spent coffee grounds.
