Mushroom walk
On Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 5-7 p.m., join North Spore Mushrooms for an informative walk and talk centered on the cultivation of mushroom species indigenous to Maine. This Westbrook-based business specializes in fresh mushroom cultivation, along with producing mushroom spawn for home growers and mushroom farms.
Here’s your chance to get answers to all of your mushroom questions. Baskets or mesh bags and pocket knives are encouraged for collecting samples. The cost of the event is $25 per person and registration is required. Sign up at shop.pinelandfarms.org.
Walkers should meet at the Pineland Farms Education Barn, 100B Valley Farm Road, a few minutes early. For more information, contact the Education Department at 650-3031 or education@pinelandfarms.org.
