Mushrooms & Mycology Workshop *FULL*
November 1, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
REGISTRATION FOR THIS WORKSHOP IS CLOSED. ALL SEATS HAVE BEEN FILLED.
Take a fresh look at fungi with a workshop where participants will learn about the biology and morphology of mushrooms in our local environment. Kaleb Stocker and Cesar Gellido, co-owners of MycoNauts, will share how and why mushrooms grow. Participants will also learn the role fungi play in strengthening soil health and structure, cleaning toxins, creating medicine, growing clothes, and even providing us shelter. This is not a foraging program but covers how to grow your own mushrooms from home in a low-tech way.

- Time: 6pm-8pm
- Venue: BSU Environmental Education Center (2500 W University Ave., Muncie)
- Registration: $10* Limited seats available. Registration is required.
