Title Cultivation of Shiitake Mushrooms as an Agroforestry Crop for New England
Author K. Mudge and A. Matthews
Date 2011
Description The project, “Cultivation of Shiitake Mushrooms as an Agroforestry Crop for New England” sought to prepare farmers and other forest owners to become commercial Shiitake grower by training them not only in basic methods of shiitake cultivation, but unlike most shiitake trainings and demonstrations, this project went on to train participants in associated skills including forest management, laying yard site selection and design, and enterprise development. The project also aimed to define and refine best management practices for outdoor log-based shiitake mushroom production in the northeastern United States.
