Details:
Date: Saturday 22nd July, 2023
Time: 8.45 arrival for a 9am start. Finish around 12pm.
Location: at Millen Farm, Samford Valley, Old
Investment: $95 (including all materials)
What to bring:
All the materials to make your shiitake mushroom log will be provided. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and covered shoes, as the workshop will involve hands-on activities and the use of a drill and hammer (optional).
Taking home your logs:
You will receive two inoculated shiitake logs to take home. Plus instructions on post-workshop care and log placement.
When to expect mushrooms?
It will take 18 months - 2 years for the mushrooms to begin fruiting from your log. But with a bit of care, you should harvest shiitake mushrooms for 3-5 years from your logs. They will fruit when the conditions are right - most likely in the cooler months - usually after heavy rain or a drop in temperature.
🍄 🍄 🍄
With a little tiny bit of care (and a bit of patience) you can have delicious, nutritious mushrooms for 3-5 years.
