Mushrooms don’t grow on trees…or do they?

Providing B vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, mushrooms are a valuable source of nutrition. Instructor William Needum is a mushroom expert and current President of the Mycological Association of D.C. Explore the nature of how mushrooms grow, see a demonstration of log-seeding and practice the technique on a sample log. Resources on where to procure mushroom spawn and planting materials are provided.
