MYCOSCAPING: Mushrooms in the Urban Landscape, a workshop with Rafter Sass

The Commons (map)

Selected By: MELISSA ENNEN

Even if you're an avid gardener - if you are only gardening plants, you're missing out! There is a whole other kingdom to explore - and eat. We can incorporate delicious, nutritious fungi in our veggie gardens, backyards, lawns, landscaping, balconies, and more... In this workshop, we'll explore the basics - and not-so-basics - of mushroom cultivation. We'll learn how to look at mushroom crops through a holistic, permaculture lens, and find the niche in the landscape where they can perform useful ecological functions, even as they produce food and medicine for us. We'll review common and less-common mushroom crops, and different cultivation techniques. We'll get our hands dirty with a hands-on demo. No gardening experience necessary!

    This was the second time I got to hear Rafter's keynote presentation on Mycoscaping and it was a great opportunity to really digest everything rather than scrambling to take notes. Rafter is charismatic, funny and engaging, not to mention the guy knows his shitake. The hands on part was a very valuable experience. Learning to inoculate via doing rather than just seeing slides really helped me get my head around the whole process. Overall, the workshop was informative and inspiring. It definitely piqued my interests in bioremedial mycology and foraging.

    Wonderful. Rafter is an excellent presenter. Incredibly knowledgable, yet practical and able to convey a lot of information using clear and simple language.
