About this Event
Petrichor Mushrooms began as a simple home-growing operation among friends who shared a deep appreciation for the culinary delights of mushrooms, their consciousness-expanding, and functional health properties. What started as a hobby soon blossomed into a venture, with fresh mushrooms becoming a staple at local farmers' markets and restaurants. This phase was all about cultivating and sharing a love for fungi with the community. During this time they built an urban mushroom farm called the Shroomship, a purpose-built shipping container, where they are growing 300+ pounds a week of fresh mushrooms including the ones used in their extracts.
Explore the Mushroom Spaceship: An Urban Mushroom Farm Experience
Join us for an exclusive tour of The Mushroom Spaceship, the innovative urban mushroom farm housed in a 40ft high cube shipping container. Step inside and witness how they cultivate hundreds of pounds of premium culinary and functional mushrooms each month. You'll get an inside look at the pre-conditioning room, see the state-of-the-art control system, and learn about the cutting-edge methods used to maintain the perfect environment for mushroom growth. Attendees will also have the rare opportunity to walk into the fruiting chamber and see the mushrooms flourishing firsthand.
To accommodate everyone, tours will be conducted in small groups. While one group tours the farm, the others can explore their storefront just 100 yards away. There, you’ll be able to ask the mushroom experts questions, learn about their exciting breakthroughs combining functional mushrooms with revolutionary nano-emulsion technology, and discover the full range of mushroom-based products.
Don’t miss this chance to see how they’re shaping the future of mushrooms!
