Join us for 4 hours of focused mycology fun where you'll be introduced to home mushroom growing for culinary and medicinal species. 

Learn how to setup your home lab and practice the skills you need to be a mushroom ninja.

In this class you will be introduced to ...

-The mushroom grow cycle

-Sterile lab techniques for your home lab

-Pouring agar culture plates

-Making agar inoculations with spores, live cultures and by cloning.

Students will leave with:

The cultures they make in class and bragging rights to say "I've done that".

Students have access to discounted mushroom cultures the day of the class and the opportunity to pick up some supplies.

This class covers the beginning stage in the grow process and will require further classes or study to finish the grow cycle.
