This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to learn, or to try their hand at growing fungi in nature-like conditions. Growing healthy food is usually thought of as being from a garden plot, but what if you could grow high nutrient, bio-ethical food, on locally sourced logs, requiring little aftercare?

Over 2.5-3 hours, this hands-on workshop will encourage you to explore the fungi life cycle, cultivation techniques and how fungi as food fits into our lives, before guiding you step by step through the process of inoculating logs with NZ Native/ Endemic mushroom spawn. You will walk away with two 30-45cm approx logs of your own to care for, and the skills and confidence to create and care for more logs at home.

In addition, you will have the chance to further develop your skills inoculating an additional larger log, which will be donated by Manaaki Mushrooms to local community groups who are keen to care for and enrich our communities minds and bellies. Two for you, one for the community!

Thanks to COLAB Te Puke for their generous support allowing us to subsidise these classes.

After you have reserved your ticket you will be sent information to prepare you to attend your workshop. This information includes what to bring on the day, as well as access to important documents related to the health and safety risks and procedures in this workshop, and sign on forms.

I look forward to having you join me for a hands on learning experience!
