Mastering Culinary Mushroom Cultivation Workshop Series

Mastering Culinary Mushroom Cultivation Workshop Series

Learn to grow delicious and nutritious superfoods at home!

Our Mastering Culinary Mushroom Cultivation Workshop Series is born from an insatiable passion for the magical world of mushrooms. Countless hours spent poring over scientific studies, exploring ancient cultivation techniques, and experimenting with innovative methods have culminated in a comprehensive, hands-on workshop series bursting with practical knowledge, fascinating fungal lore, and the art of growing gourmet mushrooms—all delivered in a fun, accessible, and beautifully crafted experience.

Learn to grow gourmet mushrooms at a “family scale”—enough for you or your household to enjoy ultra-fresh, delicious mushrooms every week. This hands-on workshop series focuses on Oyster, Lion’s Mane, and Shiitake mushrooms, teaching you to cultivate these varieties at home for a fraction of store-bought costs.
