The techniques on how to inoculate (plant) using different spawn (Equivalent to the root cuttings or vegetative propagation) that will be covered in the class, will allow home gardeners to grow mushrooms perennially. The second portion of the class will be hands on, where participants will inoculate a mushroom log they get to take home.
