Mushroom Day Grower Seminar and Farm Tour

Edible mushrooms have important medicinal and culinary use…and they're relatively easy to grow once you have the supplies and know the techniques.

The morning seminar, 9 a.m.–noon, will cover the most common home and commercially-grown mushrooms - including ID, practices, procedures, and equipment - and will feature a lab session where you will inoculate a log (shitake) as well as straw and coffee grounds (oyster) to take home. All supplies will be provided. Class size is limited.

In the afternoon, 12:15–3:30 p.m., we’ll drive to Burlington, WI for a 1-hour tour of a successful mushroom farm. Transportation is provided and limited to 15 people. Bring your own lunch to eat on the mini-bus.

You may register for the Grower Seminar, $35, or the Grower Seminar and Farm Tour, $50. Please note there is no option to register for the tour only.
