Have you grown mushrooms before and want to be able to keep growing them? You Probably know that starter spawn is the magic component to continuous mushroom growing.
In this compact, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the foundational skills needed to make your own mushroom starter spawn using simple, low-tech methods.
You’ll be introduced to tissue culture techniques, and together we’ll prepare and inoculate pasteurised hessian strips, creating the ideal environment for your mycelium to thrive.
This is a low-waste, sustainable method suitable for home growers who want to explore fungi cultivation using accessible materials. Class sizes are limited to 6 so you get the full attention of the tutor.
What You’ll Learn:
• The basics of mushroom biology and the fungal life cycle
• How to work with tissue culture to begin the spawn-making process
• How to pasteurise and prepare hessian (jute) for inoculation
• Inoculation techniques for successful mycelium growth
• Tips for keeping your starter spawn healthy and active at home
• Where to go next: growing your own mushrooms from spawn
