This outdoor workshop with John Michelotti of Catskill Fungi will cover the life cycle, ecological functions of fungi, as well as their outdoor cultivation. Learn about what types of wood are viable sources for the mushroom spawn, how to take care of your log, fruiting mushrooms, harvesting, and pest control. Inoculation equipment, techniques, and outdoor set-up will also be covered. Each participant will go home with a log they’ve inoculated with mushroom spawn. Come prepared with your mushroom questions! Closed-toe shoes are required. Wear outdoor work clothes and bring garden gloves if desired. We will proceed rain or shine, unless severe storms are predicted. We would like to thank John Michelotti of Catskill Fungi for helping make this event possible. Members: $35 | Non-members: $50 This event is limited to 20 participants. If spots are full, you will automatically be added to the waitlist. Catskill Fungi was founded by mycologist John Michelotti and friends. As former President of the Mid-Hudson Mycological Association (MHMA), John co-founded the Catskill Regional Mycoflora Project as well as the Gary Lincoff Memorial Scholarship. He serves as Medicinal Mushroom Committee Chair and is a Poison Control Consultant for the North American Mycological Association. John is an instructor for the Wild Mushroom Food Safety Certification courses in NY. He was chosen by the Catskill Center as a “Steward of the Catskills” for his contribution to the environment. John also served on the Mushroom Advisory Panel for Certified Naturally Grown to develop ecological standards in mushroom production. John has presented at the New York Botanical Gardens, Telluride Mushroom Festival, and North American Mycological Association Annual Foray, as well as several colleges and universities. His goal is to educate and inspire people to work with fungi to improve their health, communities, and the environment.
