Presented by Tolvin, Winding Stair’s resident farmer
Discover the art of mushroom cultivation in this hands-on workshop with Tolvin. Learn to grow shiitake and oyster mushrooms using mushroom logs, a method that ensures fresh, homegrown fungi year-round. He’ll cover tree selection, mycelium sourcing, fruiting techniques, and storage, giving you everything you need to start your own growing mushroom kit at home. Each attendee will inoculate their own mushroom log and take it home to watch their harvest flourish. Whether you’re a home gardener, a fungi enthusiast, or a culinary adventurer, this class will equip you with the skills to grow delicious, nutrient-rich mushrooms right in your backyard.
Shiitake mushrooms have an earthy, smoky flavor and a rich meaty-yet-buttery texture when cooked. This Umami Powerhouse is super versatile and great in all dishes, including stir-fries, soups, and more.
Oyster mushrooms have delicate, velvety caps and mild flavor – a great addition to various dishes plus a tender, velvety texture. Oyster mushrooms are a favorite among chefs for their ability to absorb accompanying flavors.
