Come grow oyster mushrooms from spawn to mushroom with Heather from Little Room Mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms are easy to grow and a sustainable, nutritious, and delicious food that you just may get hooked on. You will leave with your own pink oyster mushroom grow bag and some delicious recipes. You are welcome to reach out with questions as you continue your mushroom growing journey at home. About the Presenter: As a curious gardener and a science teacher, Heather was amazed when she grew my first mushroom kit. To her surprise, the little mushroom pins popped out and quickly grew into large, gilled petals. It was beautiful! When she went to sautée her harvest in a little butter and salt, she was delighted by the meaty texture and savory flavor. Heather went on to share in moments of curiosity and excitement with hundreds of students as she brought mushroom grow kits into the classroom. Over a few years, Heather became obsessed with mushroom growing and foraging. She realized she wants to share this passion beyond the classroom and hopes you experience the same interest and intrigue as you spray and watch your own mushroom bag grow from my grow-your-own-mushroom workshop.
