Austin: Mycology 101 for Growers & Gardeners

  • The Natural Gardener 8648 Old Bee Caves Road Austin, TX, 78735 United States (map)

Instructor: Angel Schatz

When: Saturday, September 13, 2025, 10 a.m.

WHERE: The Natural Gardener

COST: Free (donations accepted for blocks, no registration required )

Join us at The Natural Gardener for a talk to learn the basics of mycology and how fungi is entangled in all parts of our life.

Join us to discover fungi’s role in ecosystems and four ways to upcycle mushroom blocks: growing culinary mushrooms, nourishing plants and wildlife, building water-efficient, fungal-rich soil, and remediating contaminated sites. This hands-on workshop will equip you with practical skills to promote sustainability, improve soil health, and up-cycle mushroom blocks—everyone will leave with their own. Suitable for all ages and experience levels.

I will be bringing mushroom grow blocks to upcycle for everyone in attendance. Donate and learn how to use them here.
