Growing Mushrooms in the Garden
May 3 @ 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
$35 – $55
Join mushroom farmer Robin Mercy of Mr. Mercy’s Mushrooms, for a fun and factual tutorial on growing King Stropharia aka Wine Cap mushrooms in outdoor beds. The afternoon will start with an overview of the mushroom lifecycle and some helpful ID tips before participants get dirty creating their own mushroom bed on-site. Everyone will leave with their own bag of spawn for starting a personal patch plus the knowledge to confidently grow, identify, and prepare this delicious and productive gourmet mushroom.
Participants will need to dress for the weather and also bring along clothes and sturdy shoes or boots that they don’t mind getting dirty.
