Mountain Mycology Workshop at KY Green Living Fair 4/8/17

Local mycologist and public educator Timi Reedy will be giving a 45-minute workshop on growing and using edible and medicinal mushrooms at the upcoming Kentucky Green Living Fair at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 8, 2017 in Room A of the Center for Rural Development in Somerset, Kentucky. The workshop will "explore the restoration of the resilience of our Central Appalachian forests through mycology," and participants will walk away with some resources for further reference and follow-up.

Timi is also a board member for Appalachia-Science in the Public Interest (ASPI), which is a non-profit educational organization based in Mount Vernon, Kentucky. ASPI is also offering a workshop on worm composting and will have mushroom logs for sale at its exhibit booth. The Kentucky Green Living Fair is a great regional gathering for learning and sharing sustainability knowledge and resources. Thanks to the folks at Market on Main for making this event happen and for including mountain mycology among the many great workshops and demonstrations.
