Presentation by Mike Bennett, owner of

J&M Gourmet Mushrooms, Selah, WA

Have you eaten mushrooms lately in a local fancy restaurant? Chances are they came from J&M Gourmet Mushrooms in Selah. Mike Bennett has been supplying  gourmet product to the local market for years and is well known for his fungiculture skills, with features in Yakima Magazine and the Herald's Take 5 series. Perhaps you've met him at the local farmer's market? 

Mike has agreed to share some of his cultivation secrets with YVMS and he will be on hand with some demonstration items and willing to answer all your burning questions about how to successfully grow gourmet mushrooms in the Yakima Valley climate. Private tours of his facility can be arranged for a small donation. 

Free to current members and $5.00 for guests. We encourage you to register ahead of time. Room at the event is limited. Member check-in and guest tickets may be available at the door if seats are available.
