Home Mushroom Cultivation - Oct 2026

📅 10 October 2026 | 📍 Van Vleck House, 5 Church Hill Rd, WOODBURY, CT, 06798, United States

Learn how to grow your own gourmet mushrooms at home in this hands‑on workshop led by permaculture instructor Elmo Ranelli. Participants will explore the basics of mushroom anatomy, cultivation techniques, and permaculture principles while inoculating substrates for three beginner‑friendly culinary species: oyster, wine cap, and shiitake. Attendees will create and take home their own oyster mushroom bucket—and may also inoculate a shiitake log to continue growing at home. The workshop also introduces foundational concepts in bio‑ and myco-remediation, offering a deeper look at how fungi can nourish both people and the land.
