Learn simple and proven techniques to grow edible and medicinal mushrooms in your backyard such as shitake, reishi, oyster, lion’s main and many others! Also learn how mushrooms can be utilized to restore damaged soil and ecosystems. Participants will leave with mushroom kits that will enable them to grow edible mushrooms at home!
Participants will become familiar with basic mycological processes, which will enable a more clear understanding of mushroom cultivation’s myriad applications. The workshop will consist of periods of lecture combined with multiple hands on activities.
