A new series of how-to videos for mushroom growing are available here. Cornell Cooperative Extension, in collaboration with UVM Extension’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture and a team of farm advisors, has recently published a guide for growers who want to explore shiitake mushroom cultivation on their own land for personal or commercial consumption. The book is available for free at http://blogs.cornell.edu/mushrooms/factsheets/ How to Grow Shiitake Mushrooms - Cornell Cooperative Extension
