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!
