Come down to GROW Café in the Business School North Atrium, where our local Mushroom growing partner’ Mycolitos, will lead a hands-on session, where you can work alongside other staff and students to create your own mushroom substrates, a process that you can then repeat again and again from you own repurposed household wastes.

You will leave the class with a better understanding of these sustainable food production methods, containers of future oyster mushrooms packed with goodness and a free foldey fungal maintenance guide that will help you to care for them.

The growth of an organism like fungi is a fun practice, a piece of holistic knowledge that can help reconnect a person with the planet. A better understanding of nature can inspire a fascination, encourage acts of sustainability and help to improve health and well-being.

Please meet Norton and Julia in the GROW Café in the Business School North Atrium.
