Join us for an in-person mushroom growing class and mushroom tasting at Pasadena Public Library! Learn how to upcycle mushroom grow blocks to build healthy soil, increase water retention, feed the soil web, your plants and eventually you! This workshop will cover the basic mycology and then we will show you low-cost and low-tech ways to recycle SMS and other organic matter back into the soil and also grow delicious Vitamin D filled culinary mushrooms! These basic techniques require no special equipment or electricity, and can also be done outdoors using organic materials found on most farms and gardens. Let’s build healthy soil together!

Everyone will go home with Mushroom Blocks.
