Mushroom Workshop at Tunnel Hill

Explore the fascinating transformation of an abandoned Tasmanian railway tunnel, now a thriving hub for growing gourmet mushrooms on a commercial scale. Tunnel Hill Mushrooms founder Dean Smith and Tim Murch from West Tamar Fungi will teach you about the production process which starts in a lab and finishes in the decommissioned railway tunnel.
You’ll learn how to harvest mushrooms and prepare them for cooking, and you’ll even have a chance to mix your own straw mushroom logs to produce fresh mushrooms at home. As you hear about the epic history of the site, you’ll also get the opportunity to pick and sample mushrooms, which Dean will grill up for you on his one of a kind Train BBQ!
