Growing mushrooms inside poses certain challenges because there is an imbalance of organisms and environmental conditions indoors. Material will either dry out or mold unless a level of cleanliness and environmental control is used. Growing outside on the other hand, is where mushrooms come from and where they want to be. You can create a dynamic, diverse and symbiotic garden through the use of culinary mushrooms
You’ll leave the class with:
- A little bit of mushroom biology
- The primary methods used in outdoor mushroom cultivation (buckets, buried blocks, logs and beds).
