SUMMARY:Collar City Mushroom Bucket Workshop and Research Set Up
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cornell Small Farms Program and Collar City Mushrooms at Indian Ladder Farms for a hands‑on workshop on oyster mushroom cultivation. This in‑person program will be led by Avery Stempel and Connor Youngerman and will introduce the fundamentals of mushroom production across several growing systems. \nParticipants will learn how to grow oyster mushrooms—the world’s second most widely cultivated mushroom—in buckets using simple\, scalable techniques suitable for home\, farm\, or urban settings. The workshop will also highlight best practices\, food safety regulations\, value‑added product opportunities\, and circular agriculture applications for specialty mushrooms in New York State. \nThis is a free event\, but registration is required. Please indicate on the registration form whether you plan to take a mushroom bucket home. If so\, you must bring your own clean bucket and note its size when you register. You are not required to take a bucket home. Substrate\, spawn\, and all tools needed to prepare buckets will be provided by the workshop hosts. \nCoordinating email will be sent out a week in advance to registered participants \nQuestions may be directed to Connor at czy2@cornell.edu \n\n\n\n\nCollar City Mushroom Bucket Workshop and Research Set Up\n\n"*" indicates required fields \n \n\n\nStep 1 of 2\n        	 \n\n50%\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdministrative Information\n\n\nName*\n\n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                 \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                 \n\nPhone* \n\n\nEmail* \n\n                            \n                        \n\n\nAddress*\n\n                         \n                                        \n                                        Street Address\n                                    \n                                        \n                                        Address Line 2\n                                    \n                                    \n                                    City\n                                 \n                                        AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n                                        State\n                                      \n                                    \n                                    ZIP Code\n                                 \n\n \n\nCounty \nAlbanyAlleganyBronxBroomeCattaraugusCayugaChautauquaChemungChenangoClintonColumbiaCortlandDelawareDutchessErieEssexFranklinFultonGeneseeGreeneHamiltonHerkimerJeffersonKingsLewisLivingstonMadisonMonroeMontgomeryNassauNew YorkNiagaraOneidaOnondagaOntarioOrangeOrleansOswegoOtsegoPutnamQueensRensselaerRichmondRocklandSaint LawrenceSaratogaSchenectadySchoharieSchuylerSenecaSteubenSuffolkSullivanTiogaTompkinsUlsterWarrenWashingtonWayneWestchesterWyomingYates\n\nFarm Business Name (if operational) \n\n\n\nWhat best describes your agricultural work?*\n\n\n\n					\n					I am an aspiring farmer (not yet farming)\n			\n\n					\n					I am a farm manager\, employee\, intern\, volunteer\, etc.\n			\n\n					\n					I am a beginning farmer (farming less than 10 years)\n			\n\n					\n					I am a farmer who has been farming for over 10 years\n			\n\n					\n					Not represented here\n			\n\n\n\nIf your answer was not represented above\, please provide us this information below. \n\n\n\nAre you a military veteran or currently serving?*\n\n\n\n					\n					Yes\n			\n\n					\n					No\n			\n\n\n\n\nDemographics\n\n\nAre you affiliated with Cornell University?*\n\n\n\n					\n					Cornell Cooperative Extension\n			\n\n					\n					Faculty\n			\n\n					\n					Staff\n			\n\n					\n					Student or Alumnus\n			\n\n					\n					No Affiliation\n			\n\n\n\n\nHow do you identify?*\n\n\n\n					\n					Female\n			\n\n					\n					Male\n			\n\n					\n					Gender Non-Conforming\n			\n\n					\n					Prefer Not to Answer\n			\n\n\n\n\nWith which of the following races or ethnic groups do you identify?*\n\n\n\n								\n								African American/Black\n							\n\n								\n								American Indian/Alaska Native\n							\n\n								\n								Asian\n							\n\n								\n								Hawaiian Native/Other Pacific Islander\n							\n\n								\n								Hispanic/Latino\n							\n\n								\n								White\n							\n\n								\n								Prefer Not to Answer\n							\n\n								\n								Other\n							\n\n\nNOTE: The social definition of “race” has resulted in systemic institutional racism and made it more challenging for people of color to farm.

SUMMARY:Shiitake Mushroom Log Yard Management Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will cover the basics of shiitake mushroom log yard management in a natural woodland setting. 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.  \n\n\n                \n                        \n                            Farm Ops Registration: 2026 Shiitake Mushroom Log Yard Management Workshop\n                             \n							"*" indicates required fields \n                        \n        \n        	Step 1 of 4\n        	 \n            \n                25%\n            \n                        \n					EligibilityDo you live in New York State?*\n			\n					\n					Yes\n			\n			\n					\n					No\n			\n                    \n                    \n                          \n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                        Administrative InformationAre you a military veteran or currently serving?*\n			\n					\n					Yes\n			\n			\n					\n					No\n			Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Phone*Email*\n                            \n                        Address*    \n                    \n                         \n                                        \n                                        Street Address\n                                    \n                                        \n                                        Address Line 2\n                                    \n                                    \n                                    City\n                                 \n                                        AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n                                        State\n                                      \n                                    \n                                    ZIP Code\n                                \n                    \n                CountyAlbanyAlleganyBronxBroomeCattaraugusCayugaChautauquaChemungChenangoClintonColumbiaCortlandDelawareDutchessErieEssexFranklinFultonGeneseeGreeneHamiltonHerkimerJeffersonKingsLewisLivingstonMadisonMonroeMontgomeryNassauNew YorkNiagaraOneidaOnondagaOntarioOrangeOrleansOswegoOtsegoPutnamQueensRensselaerRichmondRocklandSaint LawrenceSaratogaSchenectadySchoharieSchuylerSenecaSteubenSuffolkSullivanTiogaTompkinsUlsterWarrenWashingtonWayneWestchesterWyomingYatesFarm Business Name (if operational)What best describes your agricultural work?*\n			\n					\n					I am an aspiring farmer (not yet farming)\n			\n			\n					\n					I am a farm manager\, employee\, intern\, volunteer\, etc.\n			\n			\n					\n					I am a beginning farmer (farming less than 10 years)\n			\n			\n					\n					I am a farmer\, who has been farming for over 10 years\n			\n			\n					\n					Not represented here\n			If your answer was not represented above\, please provide us this information below.\n                    \n                    \n                          \n                    \n                \n                \n                    \n                        Inoculated mushroom logs will be available to take home for the first 25 registrants (one log per household).
