The Southwind Extension District will be offering a hands-on mushroom cultivating workshop from 9 a.m. to noon March 20 at the Extension office at 1006 N. State St.
This workshop will demonstrate low-cost methods for growing delicious gourmet mushrooms such as shiitake and oyster.
Participants will learn how to inoculate logs and wood chip beds. Each participant will make and take home a log inoculated with shiitake mushrooms and will also receive an inoculated bag of oyster mushrooms.
The cost of the workshop is $15 and participants must bring an electric drill or cordless drill with at least two batteries.
K-State COVID-19 protocols for in-person meetings will be followed. Registration is due by March 17 to the Southwind Extension District. For more information, call Krista Harding at 620-365-2242.
