Join small scale mushroom cultivation expert Tom Nagy of River City Mushrooms as he introduces you to the world of homegrown gourmet and medicinal mushrooms.
During this program, you will acquire a basic understanding of what mushrooms and fungi are, what species and varieties can be easily grown both indoors and outdoors as well as how to best care for them to ensure consistent and bountiful crops of beautiful mushrooms.
Hassle-free, low-skill techniques will be highlighted as a way for beginners to experience mushroom cultivation without having to invest in any equipment or learn advanced techniques.
Each participant will leave with their own Mushroom Grow Kit to grow indoors. Varieties vary.
A copy of the presentation material, as well as additional resources and sources of information, will be provided to participants.
