We can’t contain our spores because we are so excited to participate in the inaugural installment of Green Acres Hop Fest & Springtime Art Market at Jester King Brewery!

πŸ’© 4:20 PM: Learn to grow dung-loving mushrooms!

From inoculation to harvest, we will demo each step, including colonization, spawning, fruiting, and post-harvest handling. This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced growers alike, with practical demonstrations and a detailed handout to take home.

(Additional $20 gets you a monotub from Armadillo Myco Supply.)

This ALL-AGES event promises to be the most creative, high-flying, far-out event we’ve ever done!!
