About this event

Start your own shiitake mushroom enterprise

Are you interested in starting your own forest grown shiitake mushroom business? Do you already sell produce at farm stands or through CSAs and want to diversify your offerings? Learn the basics of getting into the mushroom business at our forest grown shiitake mushroom production workshop!

This introductory workshop covers the basics of producing shiitake mushrooms on logs, either as an enterprise to add to your farm’s crop lineup, or as a small side business. The workshop will have a hands-on and interactive component. Each participant will get to inoculate a log during the workshop to take home afterwards. Participants will also be provided with shiitake production guidance materials being developed by WSU Extension.

Washington State University Extension Forestry

We are locally-based Washington State University faculty and staff dedicated to providing objective, research-based information and resources to forest and woodland owners in the Puget Sound Area. This program serves Island, King, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, and Snohomish Counties. WSU Extension has additional forestry programs that serve other parts of the state.

We offer a variety of forestry classes, publications, and online resources that are designed for people with just a few acres of woods as well those with larger forests or tree farms. Whether you are interested in a healthy forest, wildlife, timber production, the beauty and aesthetics of a natural area, or some combination thereof, we have research-based answers to help you get the most out of your property.
