About this Event
This method is one of the best ways to start growing mushrooms! Join Adi and other mushroom enthusiasts and learn how to make cardboard mushroom spawn (the first step in mushroom cultivation) and how to create your growing bag or bucket.
What you can learn and do
In this workshop, I'll guide you through the simple cultivation process, from preparing the cardboard to creating your very own mushroom grow bag.
You can expect an engaging and fun introduction to fungi and mushrooms, where you can expand your understanding of mushrooms and fungi, how they grow, their role in ecological systems and their many benefits.
In the practical part of the workshop, you can get hands-on and make your own take home mushroom spawn and grow bag. You will learn how to look after the mycelium and mushrooms, so that after a few weeks you can enjoy the fruits of you labour and harvest edible Oyster mushrooms.
Who is it for?
This workshop is for beginners who are looking for an eco-friendly and low-cost approach to mushroom cultivation and want to learn a simple way to grow mushrooms at home.
The workshop is open to adults and children from age 11 (accompanied by an adult).
