During the upcoming webinar on June 5, participants will conduct production research to develop budget tools with Steve Gabriel (Cornell Small Farms Program). You will also hear from Yolanda Gonzalenz (CCE Harvest NY) about the Cornell Mushrooms project’s plan to train new mushroom educators.
In the second half of the webinar, you will hear from William Padilla-Brown of Mycosymbiotics, who forages, teaches, and grows many mushrooms in many forms, focusing on the connections to healing people and planet.
Last month’s webinar included an overview of the project and available resources from Steve Gabriel and Yolanda Gonzalez.
Additionally, Renee Jacobson from Firefly Farm of Hornby, NY, joined the May webinar to present results from a farmer grant she conducted trialing oyster cultivation on coffee grounds and sawdust.
