You will come away from this class with an understanding on how to find recycled organic materials to build a mushroom bed, that will enhance the health of your garden and your diet. This workshop will also feature a brief cooking demo with tasty oyster mushrooms.

Participants have the option to take home spent fungal spawn blocks to inoculate substrate, add to a compost pile or put directly onto a garden bed.
