Fungal guidance
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:
