Workshop: grow your own oyster mushrooms

Wednesday 11 and Friday 13 December

Become a full-blown mushroom farmer in just a few hours. During this workshop you'll make your own straw-based substrate and infect it with oyster mushroom spawn. Not only will you take a rumbling bag of soon-to-sprout mushrooms home, but you'll have enough know-how to repeat the procedure in your own kitchen.
