INDOOR OYSTER MUSHROOM CULTIVATION (7.27)- The Homestead Atlanta

**Remember- to reserve your spot in this workshop please follow the link below!

Join 5th Kingdom on their urban mushroom farm for a day of fun and mycological know-how. Learn how to grow your own oyster mushrooms on two different substrates (newspaper & straw), and go home with two tabletop mushroom gardens all ready to grow you 3-4 pounds of delicious mushrooms at a fraction of a price you’d pay at the store – and they’ll be unbelievably fresh!

Build your kits, learn how to maintain them as well as discuss mushroom biology and ecology, general mushroom culture methods and how to prepare and store your mushrooms. Plus, enjoy a tour of the mushroom farm to see how it works and the different types of mushrooms being cultivated there.
