Oyster Mushroom Workshop

Mushrooms will save your life. Grow your own.

25 Feb 2014

Fungi will play a key role in the future. We're hosting workshops to get to know this promising organic substance. In our inflatable cleanroom you'll muck around with mushroom spores, learn about mycelium (the roots of mushrooms) and infect your own grow bag. You'll be a fully certified mushroom farmer in just two hours. And harvest your own oyster mushrooms within a few weeks.

So we grow mushrooms in the same room. Mycelium produces CO2. So our plant feel good and we get to eat more mushrooms. Willem Velthoven
