These production techniques result in the best quality shiitake that can be produced. These principles can be applied to many other wood-decomposing mushrooms\, including Lion’s Mane and Oyster. Workshop objectives: \n\nDiscuss tree species selection\, sourcing supplies such as inoculum strain selection (sawdust spawn) and necessary tools\nIdentify the appropriate bolt species and size\nInoculate and shock logs to force fruit mushrooms (will be demonstrated)\nStack shiitake logs to optimize production\nHarvest mushrooms at appropriate growth stage\nGrade mushrooms maturity\, shape\, color\, and freedom from defects\n\nParticipants will have the opportunity to tour a working mushroom yard where you can see the principles of production in action. We will discuss the best management practices for outdoor cultivation of wood-decomposing mushrooms. This form of agriculture is perfect for anyone wanting to incorporate their woodlands into applied agroforestry.  \nEducators will discuss the finances behind natural log production\, and regulations on value-added products. CSFP mushroom specialist Connor Youngerman will speak on regulations for processing mushrooms into value-added products and share useful mushroom research results from across the industry. \nWe will leave plenty of time for questions. Inoculated mushroom logs will be available to take home for the first 25 registrants (one log per household).  \nContact: Connor Youngerman (czy2@cornell.edu) with any questions.  URL:https://smallfarms.cornell.edu/event/2026-06-20-shiitake-mushroom-log-yard-management-workshop/ LOCATION:Hawk Meadow Farm\, 5066 Mott Evans Rd.\, Trumansburg\, NY\, 14886\, United States CATEGORIES:Agroforestry,Farm Ops,Mushrooms ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://smallfarms.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/D7503E56-E635-4C36-8888-4264FD14293B_1_105_c-e1778861574647.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260612T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260613T000000 DTSTAMP:20260515T191616Z CREATED:20260515T191234Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260515T191616Z UID:10000486-1781285400-1781308800@smallfarms.cornell.edu SUMMARY:Fungi\, Forage\, & Forest DESCRIPTION:Join the Beginning Farmer Training Program for Fungi\, Forage & Forest\, a two-day agroforestry event focused on mushroom cultivation\, wild edible plants\, and agroforestry practices.

This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters\, learn about research and education projects\, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success. This is one of eight sites hosting the Summit across New York State. You can view all of the sites on the Summit homepage. \nSmall farms are managed by diverse people integrating multiple enterprises to meet personal\, local\, environmental\, and food systems goals. The Cornell Small Farms Program is dedicated to uplifting small-scale farming as a dignified and viable livelihood by providing intentional\, innovative\, and inclusive services. We envision a future where small farms are valued\, respected\, and supported for the vital role they play in creating a stronger and more resilient food system.  \nWe often host listening sessions to hear directly from farmers about their challenges and needs. The NY Small Farms Summits create regional gatherings of small-scale farmers and service providers who work together to analyze challenges and prioritize responses to improve small farm success.  \nThis one-day Summit will bring together farmers\, extension educators\, university faculty\, and other service providers at multiple sites across the state. Select locations will focus on different topics and farming communities. Each summit site will connect virtually in the morning to hear from agricultural leaders in New York State. Subsequent in-person conversations will explore topics on small farm entrepreneurship\, resilience\, support networks\, and priorities moving forward. \nThe Mushroom Summit will take place at 570 Lexington Ave in NYC. We will convene a regional network of mushroom farmers and educators from indoor\, outdoor\, and community production systems; restaurateurs\, food creatives and chefs; and extension\, government and industry representatives. This diverse group will work together to determine grower research and marketing needs\, interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities\, and community building initiatives. Group conversations and presentations will be structured around value added products\, frontiers in mycology research\, and peer-to-peer learning. \nThis Summit is free to attend\, with lunch provided and refreshments served throughout the day. Therefore\, seating will be limited\, and we will open a wait list once registration is filled. \nWe look forward to meaningful engagement and conversations focused on how we can be stronger together as we build a future for mushroom farmers across the region.

The workshop will be offered three different times across the Finger Lakes Region\, providing options to those wishing to attend. These programs are open to the public regardless of your county of residence. \nJoin Connor Youngerman\, Agroforestry & Mushroom Specialist from the Cornell Small Farms Program\, to learn about specialty mushrooms and guide participants through the process of inoculating red oak logs with shiitake mushroom spawn. Participants will start the workshop indoors with a short presentation\, then go outside to inoculate red oak logs. Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather. Closed toe footwear strongly encouraged. \nThe first workshop is Wednesday October 29 at 5:00pm in Schuyler County at Apples and Moore Farm. The Second workshop is Thursday October 30 at 5:00pm in Seneca County at Vince’s Park. The last workshop is Saturday November 1 at 10:00am in Cayuga County at the Sterling Nature Center. \nCCE Environmental and Natural Resources educator Ryan Staychock said\, “more and more people want to grow shiitake mushrooms. They are good to eat\, and can generate income\, diversify farm and forestry enterprises\, add value to forestry by-products and create opportunities for sustainable forest management.” \nThe cost is $25 per person\, which includes handouts\, materials and an inoculated red oak log to take home. Cheese pizza slices will also be offered as part of the registration fee. Registration is required and space is limited. Register by visiting the website of Cayuga CCE\, Schuyler CCE\, or Seneca County CCE\, or  https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/MushroomLogFL_245 or by calling (315) 531-9251 (ext. 1009).
