Description

Are you curious about how to find and grow your own edible mushrooms? Join us for a fungi workshop with Jake Harris, mushroom ambassador and owner of Stone Soup Gardens! In this session, Jake will talk about how to grow a variety of mushrooms in your own home garden and how to properly identify some delicious edible mushrooms when visiting their ecosystems. Discover the joys of finding and eating fruiting fungus!

This class will explore:

  • mushroom identification and resources
  • how to find safe edible mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest
  • how to grow mushrooms in our homes and urban farms
  • mushroom recipes
  • examples of fungi

This in-person class will take place both indoors and outdoors, and will include conversational lecture and a walking tour. Class size is limited to 20 people, and we will be following current public health recommendations. Please dress for the weather. We will have some mushrooms to look at and we invite you to bring fungus you found to share knowledge with others or we can identify together.
