An introduction to mushroom growing you can do in the city.  Learn about the biology and ecology of the fungi in your garden and urban woods.  Explore different methods of cultivation using urban waste products like cardboard and paper through hands-on activity.  Discussion will focus on several easy-to-grow gourmet and medicinal mushroom species.  Each participant will receive a bag of spawn to start a home mushroom garden.  Class will drive to Tricycle Gardens Urban Farm (West 9th St & Bainbridge Ave) for the last portion of the workshop, so dress appropriately for the weather.
