March 30: Creekside Mushroom Farm Tour and Learn Mushroom Cultivation
Sam Andrasko is the head grower and managing partner of Creekside mushroom Farms located in the Samataguma Valley in Guatay, CA. He has been growing mushrooms for the past 23 years and is a past President of The San Diego Mycological Society. Sam has invited us to the farm on Saturday March 30th from 10am to 3-4pm’ish to tour his farm and learn about cultivating mushrooms.
We will have the opportunity to make fruitable shiitake and oyster logs and learn hands on how to make our own King stropharia beds that will fruit in the late Spring and Fall here in Southern California. Sam will do his best to provide us instruction on how to manage the cultivation of mushrooms in our arid environment with tips and tricks he has learned through his years of cultivating mushrooms. The farm is located about 30 minutes east of San Diego so bring a dish to share for a lunch potluck.
