June 1, Mushroom Log Care Tips—What is a mushroom log anyway? A mushroom log is a wooden log that allows you to grow your own mushrooms in your backyard, naturally.

Although simple, there is somewhat of an art to the process. Learn what it takes to grow mushrooms at home in this class with Zoom Out Mycology. Registration fee $15 or $25 per couple.
