Dear friends— 

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, we have decided to reschedule this mushroom workshop with Mark Jones until Saturday, October 17th 2020. Given this was a sold-out workshop, we are happy to save your ticket purchase and reserve your spot for then. If you’d instead like to get a refund, we can do that as well. Let us know what you would prefer by emailing risaacson@communitysolution.org. 

With best wishes for community and individual health,

In this introduction for gardeners and homesteaders, learn to grow several different types of mushrooms using low-tech, low-cost methods in your garden or woodlot. We will explore the biology and ecology of fungi in agriculture, using mushrooms for personal and planetary health, and methods for cultivating shiitake, oyster, lion’s mane, reishi, and other mushrooms in wood, straw, and compost.
