Mushroom Cultivation and Composting–Austin

Join Cody with the Central Texas Mycological Society at the Chaparral Crossing Farmers’ Market to learn how to grow gourmet and medicinal mushrooms and then compost the spent substrate. We will be bringing grow blocks for everyone to upcycle and take home to experiment with.

This class will cover the basic mycology and show you low-cost and low-tech ways to recycle mushroom grow blocks, a highly beneficial organic matter, back into the soil, and also grow delicious vitamin D-filled culinary and medicinal mushrooms. These basic techniques require no special equipment or electricity, and can all be done outdoors using organic materials found on most farms and gardens. Let’s build healthy soil together.
