Mushroom production technology

Dr. Omoanghe Isikhuemhen's research-based goal of making North Carolina a hotbed for production of edible and medicinal mushrooms will be hitting the road in coming weeks. Registration is now under way for a series of workshops, across the state, at which Dr. Omon and Extension agents and farmers will be giving hands-on instruction in inoculating oak logs with spawn that will turn them into shiitake mushroom producers in a few weeks. Workshops are scheduled for:
Jan. 26, Yancey County (Burnsville)
Jan. 30, North Carolina A&T University Farm
Feb. 2, Franklin County Extension Center (Louisburg)
Feb. 10, Surry County Extension Center (Dobson)
March 8, Ashe County (Rose Mountain Farm)
March 18, Lincoln County (Grateful Growers Farm)
March 20, Pender County (Dogwood Farms)

A flier with registration details and additional information is available here.
