Mushroom Logs
Sponsor(s): Sarah P. Duke Gardens
Cost: Fee: $35; $30 Gardens members and Duke staff/students
Enjoy fresh shitake mushrooms grown in your own garden! Each participant will be supplied with a 12" section of log, pre-drilled and ready to "plant" with mushrooms. Andy Currin will take you through the process of seeding the log, sealing it with wax, and then maintaining it for the six months it will take to grow your first crop of mushrooms. Each log should produce mushrooms for several years. Instructor: Andy Currin, avid vegetable gardener and campus horticulturist, Duke University. Participant limit: 15.
