Join Central Texas Mycological Society to learn the role and benefits of fungi in our ecosystem. Learn four ways to upcycle mushroom blocks and also divert organic matter from the waste stream, and turn it into valuable resources for your home and community. In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to grow culinary mushrooms, feed plants, ad build your soil. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, this workshop offers valuable insights for everyone. Everyone will go home with mushroom blocks to upcycle.
What to Bring: Bring your own container such as a 5 gallon containers: planter pot, bucket, laundry basket, milk crate, or crate for vegetables, wire mesh container like a bird house, strawberry pot. Don't buy anything new. Let's recycle. Any container with holes in it will work including a cardboard box. If your container doesn’t have holes in the side, use a power drive with a 1“ step drill bit and drill holes in a diamond pattern 4” apart on the sides of the bucket. DO NOT drill holes on the bottom. If there are already holes on the bottom, line it with cardboard.
There are limited seats and preregistration is required.
