About this Event
This is a 3-session, hands-on mushroom cultivation series, spread out over about a month. We will be meeting at the Pemberton Green house again, Saturdays at 10am. The demos will work through each stage of cultivation so you can leave the last day with self-inoculated blocks and the information to grow mushrooms at home.
