Growing your own mushrooms is an easy way to boost your home-grown nutrition, grow your own medicine, and deal with your household waste. You can break down you cigarettes, filter you greywater, make your own tempeh, grow mushrooms on waste materials, and so much more. This workshop will offer an overview of some of the cool stuff you can do with fungi at your home or apartment. 

This is part two of a three-part series. Find out more at http://fernwoodnrg.ca/fernwood-university/

More about Danielle: Danielle Stevenson is a fungi ­enthusiast with 3 years of mushroom ­cultivation ­experience, and a background in permaculture, organic food production, and ­community-based work towards food sovereignty. She recently launched D.I.Y. Fungi to offer educational workshops and mushroom cultures (a.k.a. “spawn”) for people of all ages to grow their own fungal food and medicine at their homes, gardens, and farms. She is especially excited about the potential to work with fungi, plants, and microbes to regenerate the land and water in a process known as “­Bioremediation.” Learn more at diyfungi.wordpress.com. When she isn’t “­spawning” (cultivating mushroom spawn), she is busy ­coordinating LifeCycles’ Growing Schools ­program, and the Coalition of Neighborhood Houses’ Food Access program.
