Join us on November 16 for two amazing presentations. Learn more about growing mushrooms and Bokashi composting.
Discover the joy of cultivating mushrooms at home—it’s cost-effective, eco-friendly, and a fun learning experience! By growing your own, you can enjoy gourmet varieties like shiitake, lion’s mane, oyster, and cremini without breaking the bank at the store or market. With just a few simple materials, you can start your mushroom adventure by inoculating substrates such as straw or wood chips with mycelium, the fascinating rootlike network of fungi.
