Course summary

Both days will begin with a discussion and presentation about fungi; their benefits in the garden, the forest eco-system and their relationship with trees and annual vegetables. Demonstrations and detailed information about home propagation accompanied by a slide presentation. Then we move into the practical, hands-on aspects of the course, with guidance from Beth Morgan and Austin Martin, our teachers.
Learn about Fungi and integrating inoculated logs into the garden space
Learn home propagation techniques for a variety of mushroom species
Understand and prepare indoor growing techniques and bag preparation.
Prepare logs with shitake spawn (a delicious gourmet mushroom).
Understand the process and after care, then drill, inoculate and seal the logs.
Understand companion planting and symbiosis in the garden, as well as integrated fungi-garden design as a whole.
Set up a Wood Blewit (edible mushroom) bed which can be used to generate compost from wood chips and other organic matter and produce an edible harvest in the process. This is a fantastic use of shaded space that would otherwise not be suitable for producing food.
With support create a design to bring mushrooms into your own home, business or garden space.
