Presented by Charmoon Richardson and Mia Maltz (studied with Paul Stamets)

July  9 - 10 
Saturday & Sunday

Held near Sebastopol in west Sonoma County. 

This two day workshop will include both verbal presentations and 
hands-on activities, as we delve into home mushroom cultivation and 
a variety of progressive, innovative ecological technologies. Learn 
how to bring beneficial fungi into garden, landscape, or farm. 

Saturday: Explore the basics of home mushroom cultivation, including 
mushroom life cycles, culturing mycelium, acquiring 
or creating spawn, avoiding contaminants, building a glove box or 
home lab, log inoculation, kit making, mushroom-vegetable 
intercropping, and more. ***Participants will create oyster mushroom 
kits and inoculate logs to take home.*** 

Sunday: Discussion & activity will focus on practices of Myco-
Remediation, Permaculture practices, and MycoDynamic gardening. 
Topics include myco-forestry, myco-filtration, myco-insecticides, 
and the uses of mycorrhizal soil inoculants, along with functional 
planting strategies, zone and sector analysis, and soil building. We 
will also explore re-use of materials within the context of natural 
cycles: creating & maintaining worm bins, making compost teas, and 
uses for cardboard sheet mulch. Learn simple methods of creating 
mycological landscapes for ecological restoration, and culturing 
culinary and medicinal mushrooms. 

Includes informational handouts, resource lists, and all materials 
and supplies. Some overnight lodging available.
