Mushroom Cultivation Workshops
Mushroom Cultivation Workshops
Local biology teacher & mushroom farmer, Adam Bohach, will lead participants in a workshop featuring the wild world of mushrooms!
Both workshops will feature gray dove oyster mushrooms, which can be cultivated at home in buckets and on logs. You’ll leave with how fungi thrive. Skills gained in the log workshop are transferable to other types of mushrooms such as shiitake and chestnuts.
Register on / before April 18. We must meet a minimum of 10 participants for the workshop to run. If we don’t hit the minimum you will be refunded.
Price is $85 for both or $45 for a single workshop.
A little more about the day:
Adam routinely facilitates a mushroom unit with his biology students where students team up and have to grow, sell and prepare mushrooms for a guest chef. This hands on unit is what inspired him to want to try growing our own. When we moved to Tailwind Acres, and had more land and space for such ventures we tried starting oyster mushrooms inside. Truthfully, it was a total flop! So, we decided to sign up for an intensive workshop at Midwest Organic Farming Conference. This helped us “think” like fungi and set the foundation to expand our operation. We grow for our own consumption, sell here and there via pop up sales and also have provided to restaurants throughout NE Iowa. Adam instructed some very popular workshops at the Decorah Public Library and at Tailwind Acres showcasing mushrooms! Join us, as we can help you bypass the mistakes we made and set you up for growing and enjoying your own mushrooms!
