Garden fungi, workshop, 11 February 2017, https://www.utopiana.art/en/peter-mccoy-garden-fungi
In the description of the workshop, Peter McCoy writes, “The goal of this workshop is to teach how to put in place an edible mushroom patch in your apartment or garden. We will look at how to integrate mushrooms in a beneficial manner in any context: in a garden, an agricultural setting, in medicine, etc. King Stropharia – the “garden giant” – grows and spreads quickly and easily. It creates ground by recycling all kinds of kitchen waste, paper, wood-chip and sawdust mixed with coffee ground, cardboard or straw. Oyster mushrooms can be used as a second option and are more convenient for apartments.”
