Join us to discover fungi’s role in ecosystems and four ways to upcycle mushroom blocks: growing culinary mushrooms, nourishing plants and wildlife, building water-efficient, fungal-rich soil, and remediating contaminated sites. This class will equip you with practical skills to promote sustainability, improve soil health, and up-cycle mushroom blocks—everyone will leave with their own. Suitable for all ages and experience levels.
I will be bringing mushroom grow blocks to upcycle for everyone in attendance. Donate and learn how to use them here.
About the Instructor
I grew up in Missouri with ten siblings, and the first mushroom I ever learned was fittingly the Destroying Angel. It was my introduction to how powerful and mysterious fungi can be.
Before CTMS, I worked as an experience designer and animator in the tech world but eventually, I left that world to plug into a very different kind of network: the earth’s internet, mycelium. Now I’m a forager, urban gardener, and mycology educator.
Through CTMS, I get to share my passion for the ecosystems of Central Texas and help people connect to the fungal kingdom in ways that are joyful, practical, and community-powered. Whether we’re growing mushrooms from recycled blocks or helping trees survive drought through mycorrhizal fungi—we’re building soil and solidarity.
