Mushroom Log Installation Workshop

Learn about mushroom cultivation and help us establish a mushroom growing area in our wild garden with London Mycology Project.
About this Event

Join us at Calthorpe Community Garden to learn about mushroom cultivation at a workshop hosted by the London Mycology Project. Together we'll innoculate logs with mycelum to establish a mushroom growing area in our wild garden.

Adults mushroom workshop starts at 2 PM; children's workshop from 4-5:30 PM.

Regenerative mushroom cultivation can nourish soil, support ecosystems and be a powerful tool for sustainability and urban food growing. LMP (London Mycology Project) grows fungi to build soil, food security and climate resilience using creative, circular cultivation methods that anyone can implement to grow food for themselves, and for the future.
LMP works with community-led and female-driven approaches to fungi cultivation, upskilling communities to grow more resilient, regenerative futures using the power of mycelium - the vast, underground network of fungal threads that connects and nourishes ecosystems.
Through regenerative, low-tech cultivation methods, LMP teaches gourmet mushroom growing by repurposing waste products, without single-use plastic or sterile conditions. We believe in integrated, intuitive approaches that support and strengthen the local ecology, growing food for all living beings.
