By popular demand we are offering another class on mushroom
growing. Todd Malenke, a fungi enthusiast, will teach you all

don’t need a dank basement or a backyard forest to grow
delicious mushrooms. After discussing the basics of mushroom
cultivation, Todd will help participants inoculate a log to take
home. Todd has been cultivating and eating Shiitake, Oyster and
Wine-cap Stropharia for years. Participants will be given a log,
