Join Central Texas Mycological Society for an outdoor, hands-on workshop and learn how easy mushroom cultivation can be. This workshop will give you the practical knowledge to learn how to grow mushrooms using recycled mycelium blocks lovingly donated by local mushroom farms. Not only will you be learning to grow mushrooms, build healthy soil, sequester carbon, feed the soil web, your plants and eventually you! You will also be helping divert organic matter from the waste stream! Mother earth will love you.

WHAT TO BRING
BYOB, Bring Your Own Bucket: 5-gallon bucket or planter pot with 1-in holes drilled into the sides, laundry basket, milk crate or crate for vegetables. Any container with holes in it will work. Don’t buy anything new. We recommend looking for recycled materials and delis and restaurants always have food grade buckets they throw away that can be recycled.
Notebook & Pen: To take notes!
Mug: because we will have Reishi, hibiscus, ginger tea.
