Encouraging Mushroom Production in a Forest Ecosystem

Join Chris Parker for a tour of the Forest Farmacy to better understand how to propagate and expand the forest production operation, including a tour of the mushroom spawn and grow rooms. Participants will work on observing and deepening awareness of mushroom and mycorrhizal forest systems and cultivation techniques, specifically using wood chip beds and logs for mushroom cultivation. Participants will gain experience in plugging a log and will be able to take it home.

Repurposing downed wood from Hurricane Helene transforms storm debris into a valuable resource for your forest farm, fostering biodiversity and productive land use.
