Introduction to Mushroom Cultivation with Nick Ritar

In this online two-hour workshop, Milkwood's Nick Ritar will teach you a permaculture-inspired way to cultivate mushrooms. You'll be able to grow mushrooms using a low-waste, low-cost method, valuing normally discarded materials, in any environment (with just a little bit of know-how). By the end of this course you'll learn about:

• mushroom benefits
• different types you can grow
• the best growing environments 
• substrates 
• a bucket growing method 
• top tips to ensure good fruiting.

After you've registered, an email will be sent to you with instructions about how to join the event.

Brought to you by Milkwood, Permaculture Partners and BioGreen, the proceeds of this workshop will go towards refugee education and mushroom farming in Nakivale, one of the largest refugee camps in the world.
