This hands-on class will begin with a illustrated talk followed by hands-on doing where you will learn how to grow edible and medicinal mushrooms outside and inside your home. Find out how fungi can be companion plantings to help your other plants thrive while they produce delicious mushrooms.
Catskill Fungi founder and mushroom expert John Michelotti will review some of the easy ways to integrate fungi with your landscape before teaching you how you can grow mushrooms inside, too. During the hands-on portion of this workshop, you will make your own oyster mushroom grow kit to take home, along with instructions on how to care for it and grow more mushrooms.
Note: This hands-on workshop is limited to twenty people. All participants must be vaccinated for Covid 19 in order to attend. Read our Covid 19 protocols below before signing up.
Catskill Fungi produces high quality triple-extracted health tinctures from fungi that are wild-crafted or grown on their family farm. The Catskill Fungi consulting branch incorporates edible and medicinal mushroom cultivation into residential landscape design. John also enjoys sharing his love of mushrooms on guided mushroom walks, through cultivation workshops, and through mushroom-inspired art.
