Mushroom Growing Workshop
Fungitown’s hands on, fun and interactive workshop will teach you everything you need to know to cultivate your own mushrooms at home.
Hands on mushroom growing the easy way.
From Spores and Spawn to Agar and Petri dishes, to inoculating grain and colonising substrates, to pinning and fruiting. With a lot about Hydration, Bacteria, Oxygen and Paul Stamets in between.
Leave with an agar plate, a liquid mycelium syringe, a jar of inoculated grain and two colonised packs of substrate, all made by you during the course – with the practical knowledge to carry on at home.
On this course you will learn:
-
