Join Adi and other mushroom enthusiasts to learn how to grow your own oyster mushrooms and take home your own grow bag. You can observe the mycelium grow and after a few weeks harvest the freshest most delicious mushrooms.

What you can learn and do

In this workshop, Adi will offer you a incredible insight into the fascinating world of mushrooms. He'll guide you through the simple cultivation process, from preparing the straw, creating your very own take home mushroom grow bag to secrets to creating the perfect environment for mycelium and mushrooms to flourish.

You will learn how to look after the mycelium and mushrooms, so that after a few weeks you can enjoy the fruits of you labour and harvest edible Oyster mushrooms.

Mushroom Growing Workshops

My purpose is to support you in learning about fungi and enable you to become involved in mushroom cultivation and foraging. I offer a range of workshops at the Remakery or in collaboration with community gardens, schools and teams. This is how I can share knowledge and skills and explore ways in which mushrooms can be integrated into urban gardens to support well-being and social and environmental change. This not only enriches our understanding of local food production but also promotes sustainability and community resilience. Are you interested to learn more?

Guided Foraging Walks

My walks are designed for beginners but even if you're a seasoned forager, there's something magical about the shared excitement of discovering mushrooms together. Following an introductory talk, we'll spend about 3 hours on a guided foraging walk in West Sussex. You will learn about do’s and don’ts; a handful of choice edible mushrooms for novice foragers and the poisonous ones to avoid; their habitats; foraging laws and; tips on harvesting, cooking and preserving different wild mushrooms. The walks will take place in autumn and they will sell out fast, so make sure you secure your place as soon as possible.
