In this 3 hour introduction to mushroom cultivation workshop not only will you learn everything that you need to know to begin growing mushrooms in your own home, you will also come away with all of the materials that you need to get started.

In this workshop you will:

  • Discuss why mushrooms are uniquely suited to urban cultivation and regenerative food system

  • Learn about the life-cycle of mushroom and understand the needs of mushrooms and mycelium

  • Learn the basics of mushroom cultivation from spawn production to harvest

  • Explore different substrates, containers and fruiting spaces you could create from household waste

  • Inoculate your own cardboard spawn to take home

  • Inoculate your own bucket with sawdust, coffee grounds and mushroom spawn.

All participants will take home their own spawn burritos, inoculated buckets, skooshers, and a detailed workshop booklet with everything that you need to know to care for your mushrooms at home and continue your mushroom cultivation journey.

In addition, we'll spend a bit of time giving everyone a short tour of our farm tour so you can get an idea of what a small-scale mushroom farm and lab look like.
