Mycelium Magic: Introduction to Mushroom Cultivation / Magia del Micelio : Introducción al Cultivo de Hongos

What: Join James Wieser & Zuza Bohley of Love4Nature at the BoCo Coop Farm Stand for a hands-on introduction to growing your own mushrooms at home. Learn how to cultivate gourmet and medicinal fungi while discovering the incredible world of mycelial networks that sustain all life.

In this outdoor workshop, you’ll discover:

  • How mycelium forms vast underground networks, connecting and communicating beneath the soil

  • The crucial role fungi play as nature’s recyclers and ecosystem builders

  • Simple techniques for growing mushrooms in your own home or garden

  • The difference between saprotrophic, mycorrhizal, and endophytic fungi

  • How to care for and maintain your mushroom cultivation

You’ll take home: A mycelium grow bag, plus the knowledge to continue growing your own mushrooms!

No prior experience necessary. All materials provided — just bring a notebook for notes and questions.

What to expect: This is an outdoor demonstration-style workshop. We’ll explore the fundamentals of mushroom cultivation through hands-on learning and give you a mushroom bag to take home.
