DETAILS OF THE EVENT:
Community Mushroom Farming with Mario, hands on learning experience, two hours workshops where you can learn different subjects of community mushroom farming. Mario will be sharing with you what seasonal native fungi you can grow outdoors for food and for soil restoration.
Our community mushroom projects have huge potential to deliver direct reduction in Carbon emissions by creating renewable fungi gardens with native fungi and plants. Community mushroom farming can shift from sustainable to regenerative, restorative agriculture rejuvenating the soil and all ecosystems that rely on it. Mushroom farming together with mycovermicomposting, not only prevents erosion and soil degradation but also keeps carbon safely stored in the soil. It increases plant diversity and integrates livestock, creating a holistic system powered by elements in the environment working together, filtering the soil and encouraging plants to grow and saving pollinations.
Cultivating mushrooms is a natural way to recycle organic materials, such as cardboard, spent coffee grounds, old cotton clothing, tea bags, egg cartons, leaves, twigs, fallen branches. Spent mushroom substrate is an amazing food for worms, creating healthy soil and plants. Plants cooperate with fungi, responsible for converting dead matter into nutritious living soil.
Join us and let’s grow mushrooms together! Not only good for the soil but for our mental and physical health too!
