Growing Mushrooms

Author: Emma Lee

Planning Unit: Estill County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Marketing, Diversifying, and Managing Local Agriculture

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Estill County has a mushroom festival every year and clients were calling more frequently to get more information about growing mushrooms. I held a class on growing oyster mushrooms on April 19th at 12 pm and had 21 people attend. Everyone asked questions after the program and were then given a mushroom grow kit of their own to learn first hand. My target audience was all of the individuals that were interested in the mushroom festival, as well as mushrooms in general. I had a great response to this class and am still hearing months later about everyone's successful mushroom growing experience!
