The Shroomshop: Mushroom Cultivation for Beginners

The Shroomshop keeps selling out. It seems you folk really wanna know how to cultivate mushrooms! We are pleased to say that Darren is returning for some more fungi fun.

Mushrooms have been growing wild since prehistoric times. Their therapeutic value has been prized in indigenous cultures, for thousands of years. They play a critical role in medicinal practice and were noted in some of the first books on herbal medicine written thousands of years ago.

In the past few decades, mushrooms have become more popular for their therapeutic qualities in the west as a result of an expanding body of scientific research supporting their numerous health benefits.

Come and learn the basics of mushroom cultivation, explore various techniques for growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms such as Oyster, Reishi, Shiitake and many other strains of mushrooms.

This will be a hands on experience covering everything you need to know to get you started.
