Mushroom growing workshop with Tamara Griffiths
Event description
King Stropharia
Stropharia rugosoannulata
Mushroom growing workshop with Tamara Griffiths
My King Stropharia mushroom patches have just had a spring flush. They are an easy to grow garden mushroom.
I have developed a strain of King Stropharia (Ducky Strain) that grows on pine shavings, strawbales, eucalyptus woodchips and bush mulch.
This means we don't need to source and purchase expensive hardwood chips!
Over 7 years I have formed a relationship with this fantastic fungi. I have experimented with growing mycelium and ways to produce delicious and large mushrooms.
These workshops include
1. How to propagate King Stropharia mycelium
2. How to get King Stropharia to produce mushrooms
3. King Stropharia mycelium to take home
4. Growing King Stropharia in a forest garden
5. Using King Stropharia mushrooms in permaculture design
6. Building soil with King Stropharia mushrooms
