About this Event
The Del Paso Heights Growers' Alliance is hosting a mushroom cultivation workshop with Big Boy Mushrooms!
This workshop will cover the basics of growing mushrooms, from spore to fruit, as we inoculate straw with oyster mushroom spawn. You’ll mix and bag your own grow kit to take home, and leave with all the knowledge you’ll need to harvest delicious oyster mushrooms in just 3-5 weeks!
Meet your farmer, Brandon: I’ve been experimenting with sustainable food production models for over 10 years and started Big Boy Mushrooms in 2020 after falling in love with mycology. The idea is simple: Northern California grows tons of wheat and rice straw, so why not grow mushrooms on it? The process uses almost no inputs and produces a valuable compost in the end. Increasing our region’s sustainability is a community effort, so I hope you’ll join us on this mission of radical mycology!
