Have you considered growing mushrooms in your backyard?

King stropharia are a great option that do not require sterile technique to cultivate and thus work great in a garden/backyard setting. In this workshop we will cover:

- Introduction to mushroom cultivation

- Bulking out commercial grain spawn in buckets

- How you can inoculate a mulched pathway or heavily mulched garden with king stropharia spawn. 

We will be working outside, so please dress appropriately. Bring your own gloves if you plan on getting your hands dirty and bring a bucket (1–5 L) if you would like to take some king stropharia spawn to grow in your own garden.

The workshop is for members only and costs $40. Spaces are limited so please pay at the time of registering or your place can not be held.

Tea and coffee and workshop materials will be provided. Please bring something to share for afternoon tea.

The workshop will be hosted by Kyle Taylor. Kyle owns and operates North shore-based landscape construction company Tierra Projects.
