CULTIVATION

Mushroom cultivation on logs - Practical workshop 2.5 hs.

I teach workshops where you learn how to grow mushrooms on logs. We inoculate a tree trunk with mycelium so that it can produce mushrooms. If all goes well! You can cultivate different types of mushrooms depending on the species of wood. The logs can give mushrooms several years ahead. To me this is a very practical way to ally with fungi, and learn about them. It's also a wonderful way of producing delicious protein-rich gourmet and/or medicinal mushrooms, a great alternative to meat.

Here's a picture of me with shiitake mushrooms grown on logs in my garden:

The pictures below are from two workshops I held at Kulturhuset Islands Brygge in spring 2025. Here we used willow tree, donated by a woman who had cut down her tree anyways, and we cultivated Chicken of the Woods, Oyster and Chestnut mushroom. I like to buy my mycelium at Fyns Ø Svampe. He also have great guides on how to do it.
