What: Join Daniel Reyes and CTMS for a fully immersive experience to provide you with the skills to create a foundation for your own mushroom cultivation practice. This hands-on workshop is an excellent primer for anyone considering mushroom cultivation for food & medicine production, research, engineering applications, or any other aspect of mycology. We dive deep into the ecological and cultural importance of fungi and mushrooms in the world and explore how fungi can help rebuild our soil and remediate urban pollution. You'll walk away with a theoretical understanding and applied skills to integrate directly into your home, garden, or farm.

When: Saturday February 8th, 1-4pm

Where: Circle Acres Nature Preserve (420 Kemp St, Austin TX 78741)
