MHMA is conducting a 3 Part series on Mushroom Cultivation...  The 3rd part is actually a workshop where participants will actually "plant" their own mushrooms to take home with them...

 

There has been quite a bit of interest in the workshop and in order to let everyone participate we need additional supplies.

 

I am hoping that there are some canners and jammers that might be agreeable to let us borrow some necessary equipment...

 

Pressure Cookers - The Type Designed For Canning / Need for workshop only (A couple of days from borrow to return date)

 

Canning Jars - Quart Wide Mouth / Need to borrow for about 1 month

 

Canning Jars - Pint Straight Edge (So solid contents will slide out)/ Need to borrow for about 1 month

 

Also Lids and rings to fit Jars...

 

The Pressure cookers are used for sterilizing the equipment and sterilizing the jars that will be filled with grain.  The jars will be used to grow mushroom roots called mycellium...  The roots will "feed" on the grain for about 2 weeks and then will be removed to let the mushrooms blossom...

 

Please contact me if you have any leads to get equipment, or if you would like to attend the event...
