Join The Mushroom Smith for a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the basics of fungi and assemble your own oyster mushroom grow kit to take home. This session is designed for total beginners — practical, fun, and focused on growing mushrooms at home.
 
What you’ll learn:
A quick introduction to fungi + the sustainability angle
How oyster mushrooms grow (life cycle + timelines)
How to care for your kit (humidity, light, airflow)
Troubleshooting: common issues and how to fix them

What you’ll do:
You’ll assemble and label a small oyster grow kit during the workshop, then take it home with a simple guide so you can continue the process yourself.

What’s included:
All materials to build one oyster mushroom grow kit
Take-home care guide
Live guidance + Q&A

Who it’s for:
Beginners (no prior experience needed)
People curious about sustainable food / DIY growing
Anyone who wants a practical project they can continue at home

Important note (safety)
This workshop focuses on growing oyster mushrooms and does not teach edible mushroom identification or foraging for eating.
