Community Mushroom Farming with Mario is a hands-on learning experience. In these two-hour workshops, you will gain an understanding of the different aspects of community mushroom farming. Learn which seasonal native fungi you can grow outdoors for food and soil restoration.
Mycobee’s community mushroom projects give you the tools to make a directly reduce your carbon footprint by creating renewable fungi gardens with native fungi and plants.
Community mushroom farming is regenerative, restorative agriculture that rejuvenates the soil and all ecosystems that rely on it. Mushroom farming together with myco-vermicomposting, not only prevents erosion and soil degradation but also keeps carbon safely stored in the soil. It increases plant diversity and integrates livestock, creating a holistic system powered by the different elements in the environment working together.
Cultivating mushrooms is a natural way to recycle organic materials, such as cardboard, spent coffee grounds, old cotton clothing, tea bags, egg cartons, leaves, twigs, and fallen branches. The spent mushroom substrate is an amazing food for worms, creating healthy soil and plants. Plants cooperate with fungi in converting dead matter into nutritious living soil.
Join us and let’s grow mushrooms together! They are not only good for the soil but for our mental and physical health too!
All events are free to join. To book your place email Mycobee stating the date and time of the event you would like to book: info@mycobee.org.
