Gnomestead Hollow Farm and Forage – Mushroom Cultivation Workshop and Farm Dinner

THE WORKSHOP
This workshop will focus on giving participants a hands-on experience cultivating a variety of mushrooms, including: Oysters, Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Shiitake.
We will cover the fundamentals of FUNgi, which will include a discussion of their biology and the crucial role they play in the balance of ecosystems.
Each workshop participant will gain knowledge and experience cultivating different species of mushrooms on various low-cost, accessible agricultural and forestry-based feedstocks – using low-tech cultivation methods.
Everyone will also take home their own GIY Mushroom block!
