OYSTER MUSHROOM BUCKET CULTIVATION WORKSHOP
Join us for a hands-on workshop and learn how to grow your own mushrooms in a bucket at home!
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Join us for an immersive workshop on the fundamentals of mushroom cultivation, led by an experienced mushroom grower from Spore & Sprig Farm, a gourmet mushroom farm based in Shortsville, NY. Discover the art of growing mushrooms in buckets, and take home your own inoculated bucket that will produce fresh mushrooms right in the comfort of your home!
Note: purchasing a ticket for the mushroom cultivation workshop will grant admission to both the workshop (which will take place from 1pm to 2pm downstairs in the kitchen), as well as our Myco Mania event that day. Want to learn more about Myco Mania? Click here.
ABOUT The INSTRUCTOR
Elizabeth Hunt is a longtime mushroom cultivator and gardener. After taking an indoor mushroom cultivation class and being completely awed by the fascinating world of mushrooms, she dove deeper into learning, experimenting, and growing. From that fascination, she and her husband started Spore & Sprig Farm where they cultivate mushrooms both indoors and outdoors.
A former middle school teacher and mother of three, Elizabeth loves learning and sharing that learning with others. She is especially fascinated by the endless possibilities and powers of mushrooms and is delighted to bring that enthusiasm to the Bucket Cultivation Workshop, where participants can get hands-on and grow their very own oyster mushrooms.
