Mushroom Growing Workshop – Grow Mushrooms on Coffee Waste ☕️ and Straw
About this Event
Learn how to cultivate mushrooms with your spent coffee and straw and contribute to a sustainable local food production at low costs.
What you can learn and do
In this workshop, I'll guide you through the simple cultivation process, from using coffee grounds and pasteurising straw to creating your very own mushroom grow bag.
You can expect an engaging and fun introduction to fungi and mushrooms, where you can expand your understanding of mushrooms and fungi, how they grow, their role in ecological systems and their potential benefits. You’ll learn about the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi that goes back to the origins of life on land.
In the practical part of the workshop, you can get hands-on and make your own take-home mushroom grow bag. You will learn about how to use coffee grounds and prepare the straw and, how to create the ideal conditions, so that after a few weeks you can enjoy the fruits of you labour and harvest edible Oyster mushrooms.
Who is it for?
This workshop is for beginners who are looking for an eco-friendly and low-cost approach to mushroom cultivation and want to learn a simple way to grow mushrooms at home.

"Adi’s events are such unique, enjoyable experiences. His passion and knowledge for mushrooms, an incredible but little understood part of nature, shine through. They are great ways to meet new friendly faces in London as well. It’s rare as an adult to find enjoyable learning opportunities like this. It has opened the door to a new hobby/fascination of mine…what are you waiting for? Sign up for his next workshop or foraging walk now" Ben
