This is the next round of our popular low-tech mushroom cultivation course :)
Come and learn with Em and cee-cee of Hyphae Mushrooms in Pembrokeshire, west Wales. We've been growing mushrooms for over 10 years, selling commercially for 5 of those and running courses for many years now.
The course will run from 10am until 3pm (though sometimes it can run on to 3:30pm) and you will learn:
🍄 the life-cycle and growing conditions for primary decomposers, focusing on oyster and shiitake mushrooms
🍄 cardboard culture - the simplest way to make your own mushroom “spawn” (kind of like a starter culture)
🍄 growing oyster mushrooms in buckets with straw
🍄 growing shiitake on logs
🍄 uses for spent substrate
🍄 integrating fungi into the veg garden
You will take home:
🍄 a bucket of soon-to-be oyster mushrooms
🍄 a shiitake log
🍄 cardboard culture
🍄 the knowledge to care for all the above 🙂
You will need to bring:
- a re-useable plastic bucket with a lid, for your oyster mushrooms (we will send you more info about this)
- a small container with a lid (could be a jar, could be plastic), to store your cardboard culture
- a packed lunch
- a pad and pen for notes
We will provide everything else; all of the tools, the growing materials and the know-how :)
