Growing Gourmet Mushrooms at Home with Everyday Items

Join us at Word Up to learn about the diverse fungal life in Uptown Manhattan, the lifecycle of a mushroom, how fungal life impacts our daily lives Uptown, and how to engage with them for a future without food insecurity and chronic disease. This event includes a workshop on growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms from brown rice and coffee grounds in plastic cups and ziploc bags (photos of the process and in-depth explanations). The presentation will be sent out by email for reference afterward. 

Freshwater Mycology is a black + trans guided futurist mushroom farm, research repository, and art house committed to understanding and sharing the profound benefits of mycelim and mushroom fruits of all diverse types.
