OSU Extension to host culinary mushroom workshop March 24

Ohio State University Extension will host a Grow Local, Eat Local workshop on cultivating culinary mushrooms Tuesday, March 24, at 5 p.m. at the Harrison County Fairgrounds Commercial Building in Cadiz.

Participants will learn the basics of growing culinary mushrooms, explore species well suited for home production and learn techniques to maximize yields. Hands-on activities will include inoculating a shiitake mushroom log and an oyster mushroom jar to take home and observe as they fruit. A live demonstration on inoculating a bucket with lion’s mane mushrooms also will be featured.

The workshop costs $20 per person, with payment due at registration to reserve a spot. Space is limited.

To register, contact Erika Lyon at lyon.194@osu.edu or 740-461-6136. Cash, check and credit card payments will be accepted.
