CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA
MUSHROOM CLUB
Next Event:
Saturday March 28 at 1:00 PM
Log inoculation workshop at the Lions Community Park in Pine Grove Mills
We will once again be inoculating aspen logs with Oyster Mushroom spawn. Each participating member may take a log home to fruit. Instruction, tools, supplies, and of course, logs provided by the club.
We will be outside and working, so dress for the weather and for getting dirty. Bring safety glasses if you have them - the club has some to loan. Also, bring a plastic garbage bag to cover your log for the ride home - the logs will have wax on them which is difficult to remove from interior car surfaces.
We ask that you plan to stick around to help with clean-up.
This is a members-only event. To join, please download, print and fill out the application form. The completed form can be mailed with payment to: Central PA Mushroom Club, 71 Long Lane East, Rimersburg, PA 16248 or, you can pay in person at the event.
If there are logs remaining after every member has taken one, they may be purchased for $20. each.

Cancelled due to inadvisability of having a large group of people sharing space and tools
We plan to have a small group of club members inoculate the logs - which were already cut - and we will make them available at a later date. None of the details have been worked out yet so, stay tuned.
We are very sorry to have to cancel this event and others as well but any action - or inaction - that we can take to stop or slow the spread of COVID-19 must be done.
