By Claudia (TP Gardener)
Last spring we introduced the new raised bed gardens and this spring we have been working on a new addition: a Shiitake Mushroom farm. The Shiitake farm is located down by the hillside of the Clubhouse. Once the wood is fully colonized mushrooms will spring forth from cracks or channels in the wood. Long-valued for their culinary and medicinal properties, Shiitakes are low in fat, high in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Fresh and dried Shiitake mushrooms are used nutritionally to fight cancer, fibrocystic breast disease, high blood pressure and viruses, to strengthen the immune system, improve circulation, and reduce cholesterol.
Our guest will have the opportunity to participate in our Shiitake workshops to learn more about the cultivation process and benefits of this gourmet mushroom.
The photos show the inoculation of our cut logs and stumps with mushroom mycelium.
