About this event
Have you been wanting to know more about the process of growing your own mushrooms at home?
Come to Strawbale Studio and learn how to grow three different types of mushrooms (Shiitake, Oyster, and Wine Cap) using three different methods of inoculation. We will also fire up the Earth Oven and each person can make their own individual pizza with previously harvested mushrooms! At the end of the day, take home a 12" inoculated mushroom log.
Class includes hands-on construction of 3 strategies for growing, Log Inocuation, Totem and Garden Bed, as well as principles of growing, log and location selection, fruiting proceedure and where to get spores for your own future mushroom adventure !
Feel free to stay on after our pizza supper ~ around the bonfire, in the Strawbale Studio, or take a walk.
Instructors: Deanne Bednar, Shane Norris, Levi Fiak

About the organizer
I entered the world of natural building by participating in a “Start-to-Finish” course with the Cob Cottage Company in 1996 after retiring from teaching art & sustainability at the middle school level. Returning to Michigan, I became a collaborator in the Strawbale Studio Project. I now educate (and learn) as much as I can about natural building & sustainable living through workshops, internships, presentations, exhibits & outreach. I had the privilege of illustrating the Hand-Sculpted House Book, The Natural Plaster Book, and The Cobber’s Companion, and being a start-to-finish collaborator on the Kensington Kids Cottage, located within the Kensington Metropark, at the Farm Center. Especially life-changing were my adventures during 1979 & 1980 when I recieved a Masters Degree in Social Ecology from Goddard College in Vermont. I have been exploring Sustainability, Appropriate Technology & Design with Nature over the years, in my work with Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center, Oxford, Michigan, and through my activities in natural building & other natural living skills. Now is a time of networking, sharing, coming together to envision & create. I am so thankful for this journey.
