Join mycologist Christopher Smith for a fascinating foray into the wonders of mycology!
Mycology translates as the ' study of fungi', a group that covers mushrooms, yeasts, and more.
In this session:
Learn all about the process of mushroom growing on logs using inoculated dowels.
We'll be learning about Phoenix Oyster or Pekepekekiore edible fungi.
Then get together and take turns drilling and making inoculated dowel logs (or watch and learn).
Christopher will then discuss how to get your grow kit growing for the best possible growing and harvest!
Ticket Options:
1. Workshop only $20
2. Workshop + Phoenix Oyster or Pekepekekiore Mushroom Log $45* ($5 off both workshop and kit price)
*Please Note: Christopher requires a minimum of two weeks to prepare the dowels if you'd like to make a mushroom log in the workshop. Please book by Friday, March 22 if you'd like to take home an inoculated log.
If you have access to a cordless drill, please bring it with you on the day. Bit size, tbc.
If you have any questions, please email Meg@ecomatters.org.nz.
