Mycopermaculture: Designing Edible Mushroom Ecosystems
With Tamara SunSong and Robin Mercy
April 5 - 7, 2019
Learn simple techniques for incorporating delicious mushrooms into your landscape. We will use permaculture principles to discover how species like King Stropharia, Reishi, and Oyster Mushrooms can help turn your home garden ecosystem into an edible and medicinal paradise.
This workshop will include an exploration of mushroom life cycles and the fundamentals of permaculture design, as well as hands-on projects like guild planting, log and stump inoculation, and bringing mushroom companions into our garden paths and beds. We will also investigate how mushrooms have shaped human cultures past and present, and learn about new discoveries from the realms of both science and spirit. All participants will leave with an inoculated mushroom log and the skills to get started on a mycopermaculture design of their own.
