In this workshop on mycoremediation, we will focus on a hands-on approach to applying the natural abilities of decomposing fungi to process and convert common waste streams such as sawdust, straw, coffee grounds, cardboard, and others. We will also showcase how decomposing fungi can even remediate oil based contaminants on these common waste items.

Family friendly, kids welcomed!

What to bring: Bug spray (there are mosquitos!), water, sunscreen, gloves. We highly recommend wearing long pants. No sandals or open-toed shoes!
