What You’ll Leave With: Your Own Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit, The Basic Skills Needed to Grow Most Mushroom Species, Resources for Further Learning
The name says it all: Everyone can (and should be) growing fungi for fun, fertility, and food!
In this workshop, we’ll explore various methods of growing edible fungi, and discuss how they can be integrated into your life in a way that’s fun, builds your soil fertility, and tastes wonderful with olive oil and garlic.
Our hands-on activities will show you how to grow oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) on three different substrates: logs, straw, and one of Portland’s most plentiful ‘waste’ resources, coffee grounds.
After a little bit of talking about how mushrooms live and reproduce, we’ll help everyone build their own oysters-on-coffee-grounds grow kit to take home.
We’ll also discuss several other species and how to grow them.
Come get cozy with nature’s recyclers!
