Welcome to the exciting world of mushroom cultivation! This introductory course offers learners the opportunity to explore the fundamentals of growing mushrooms through an engaging, hands-on approach. Students will learn by gaining practical experience as they document and monitor the growth of their own mushroom kits. 

Each day, students will spend 10 to 15 minutes observing their kits, taking photos and noting changes such as humidity levels, mycelium growth, and any signs of contamination or pinning, which is the formation of tiny mushrooms. 

Following their observations, students will write a daily report, which takes an additional 15 to 20 minutes. These reports, complete with photos, will be submitted to the classroom for review, providing a record of progress and an opportunity to receive feedback from the instructor. A report template is provided in the classroom.

The course moves quickly, as mushrooms grow rapidly once the kits are opened. Students can expect to harvest their first crop within 8 to 10 days, during which they will gain a clear understanding of the life cycle of fungi and the conditions necessary for optimal growth. 

Topics covered include: 
	•	The mushroom life cycle
	•	Safety while working with spores
	•	Sanitation practices, and 
	•	The selection, preparation, and maintenance of a mushroom kit

As students progress, they will learn how to set up a fruiting chamber, maintain appropriate levels of humidity and carbon dioxide, and identify mature mushrooms ready for harvest. 

After the initial harvest, the course will guide students through steps to clean and prepare mushrooms for consumption, as well as methods for drying and storing them. Students will also explore techniques for encouraging more fruitings after the initial harvest and composting spent substrates (Check out my vermiculture class!).

This course is designed for beginners and requires no prior experience. With the instructor growing mushrooms alongside the students, participants will have access to regular updates, videos, photos, and step-by-step guidance. By the end of the course, learners will have a solid foundation in mushroom cultivation, equipping them with the confidence and skills to continue growing mushrooms on their own.

Metas de aprendizaje

Mushroom life cycle: Students will gain a understanding of the life cycle, by using a mushroom kit to quickly learn what mushroom growth should look like, feel like, smell like, and of course taste like!
Laboratory procedures: Student will use the home kitchen as a laboratory and demonstrate the ability to create sterile laboratory conditions and identify the difference between sanitized and sterilized conditions.

Otros detalles

Orientación para padres
An adult at home will need to help choose a safe location where the mushroom grow kit can be set up and left in place. This site will need access to light, but not direct sunlight.
Lista de útiles escolares
Class will require purchasing a boxed mushroom kit and a clear or translucent plastic tote with a cover. There are several online sources for mushroom kits. I will use an oyster mushroom kit for demonstration.
