Description

Edible mushrooms are a great source of nutrition and plant based medicine. Because of their texture and ability to absorb flavor, they've been showcased as a great main dish that even meat eaters love to enjoy. In this Growing Mushrooms 101 class you will be introduced to the science behind growing these delicious fungi and will walk through the process of setting up a grow bag that could produce about 3-5 pounds of mushrooms. You will take the bag home, and within 10 days you should have your first flush of mushrooms. Farmer Mac will show us how to care of the growing body of mycelium, how to harvest, and what to do to receive a second harvest. Both Oyster mushrooms and lions mane will be available for you to choose from. Farmer Mac is a cultivator of gourmet mushrooms at Forevermore Fungi and is studying to be a Mycologist. He will share his story from Military to Mushrooms and how these fungi allies can aide in wellness and recovery from traumatic situations as well as boost our cellular health. We will also share a few favorite recipes that you can try at home, and if you have one you'd like to share, email us and we'll add it to the mix.
