Description

In this event we will discuss fungal facts and proper care, as well as have the opportunity to plant oyster mushrooms to take home. These beautiful life forms have been around since the beginning of time. The fact is that we know very little about this kingdom of living organisms. In recent years science has discovered that fungus plays a major role in the health of our ecosystems.  In this beginning class, we will be discussing fun and fantastic fungal facts. We will also be exploring multiple methods of mushroom propagation. Participants will be planting a mushroom growing kit of oyster mushrooms. We will discuss proper cultural care of your mushroom kit and how to multiply the mushrooms in the future. Oyster mushrooms are beautiful, easy to cook, delicious and are highly nutritious.
