Community Forests International is hosting a mushroom growing workshop Saturday November 3rdfrom 10am-4pm at 10 School Lane in Sackville N.B.
In this workshop participants will explore fungi and the edible mushrooms certain fungal species produce (e.g. shiitake, oyster mushrooms). Mycologist and mushroom enthusiast David Boyle will guide a discussion on the essential roles these organisms play in stimulating plant growth, degrading pollutants, and controlling unwanted insects. This will be followed by a hands-on exploration of several methods for coaxing fungi to produce edible and/or beautiful mushrooms. After this workshop, participants will have a greater understanding of how fungi live and behave and be well on their way to growing their own mushrooms at home or on the farm!
Please dress warmly, as a portion of this workshop will be held in an outdoor classroom space.
The cost is $25.00 Please bring your own lunch. Register here.
