$100

In this fun and interactive class, we will explore how you can cultivate your own mushrooms at home. This hands-on workshop is perfect for new and budding mycologists, herbalists, foragers, and anyone who’s interested in learning more about incorporating the amazing world of mushrooms into their daily life!

 In this class, we will explore: 

  • The knowledge of how to grow different kinds of mushrooms
  • A live hands-on demo for growing your own mushrooms at home, from foraging-to-cultivate, to even small-scale commercial production
  • A discussion of easy-to-grow techniques, including Niko’s own personal tips for successful cultivation
  • Mushroom identification, including how mushrooms grow and adapt to their natural surroundings
  • The significant healing benefits of mushrooms for medicine making
  • Species such as Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake, Turkey Tail, Chaga, Lions Mane and more…  
  • Additional ways you can incorporate mushrooms into your kitchen and daily life!

Participants will go home with a Lion’s Mane kit so you can grow this highly beneficial mushroom at home. You’ll be able to grow these mushrooms again and again, or preserve the spores for future use. 

I look forward to teaching you about this amazing world of fungi!

Suggested Supplies to Bring to Class:

  • Notebook and pen or pencil
  • Smock (if wanted)
