ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Join the Central Texas Mycological Society for a workshop that combines a bunch of spooktacular things we love about fungi! First, fun with fungi while learning basics of mycology and growing mushrooms outdoors. Since it’s okay to decay, we will be building scarecrow together that will decompose over the fall and winter with the help of recycled oyster mushroom blocks.
- Family friendly. Kids under 12 are free and must be accompanied by an adult.
- Bring your own container (see examples below) and we will bring the rest.
Tickets are limited and are $25 for Members and $35 for non-member. Sign-up for a membership to get discounts on workshops, walks, and mycology related events.
WHAT TO BRING
BYOBUCKET: 5 gallon bucket, planter pot, laundry basket, milk crate, or crate for vegetables, wire mesh container like a bird house, strawberry pot. Any container with holes in it will work. Do not buy anything new, there are many ways to upcycle and use these materials.We will provide the structural materials, mushroom blocks/spawn, and substrate to build a scarecrow. You will need to bring the different types of clothing and fibers that you want to watch decompose and get consumed by fungi.
