Learn how to grow your own oyster mushrooms as they take you through the steps of mushroom cultivation with a focus on using urbanly-available waste products. The workshop covers the production of mushrooms using non sterile techniques. You will learn about all the steps involved in mushroom production, from making cultures to creating spawn and fruiting substrates. You will learn how to create your own cultures using nothing but waste stem butts from fresh mushrooms. You will also learn to make mushroom spawn from recycled paper pellets and fruiting blocks using three different urbanly-available substrates: paper pellets, hardwood pellets and spent coffee grounds.
