Sunday, May 27, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Liberty Garden ( across the street from the Eastsound Saturday Market)
From Learner Limbach, FoodMasters
Come spend an inspiring and informative day of hands-on learning about home mushroom cultivation.
This year you will get to create a bulk substrate of Pearl Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) & Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) mycila.
Each participant will walk away with their own substrate to grow at home (your choice of either Shitake or Oyster) and all the knowledge to do so!
As this class is likely to fill up, I am asking that people pre-register. Please contact me if you would like to register for the class.
If time permits, we will have a short demonstration of how to use Myco remediation to deal with potential contaminants on your land.
Cost is $35. Limited scholarships and/or trade opportunities are available by inquiry at foodmasters.orcas@gmail.com

Kyler, I hope you will consider doing a separate workshop specifically on myco remediation, as this is an important enough topic to warrant a full workshop. Myco remediation could be an essential part of helping to offset the massive degradation of Eastsound Swale; gateway to Fishing Bay and valuable/essential nearshore habitat.
