Join urban farmer Gil Lopez as he shares information about cultivating and growing edible mushrooms at home. This workshop will include a presentation offering a broad overview of the fungi kingdom, different types of mushrooms, life-cycle, anatomy and other fungi details. 

A basic mushroom cultivation technique will be taught and the lesson will end with a hands-on mushroom cultivation demo where participants will leave with mushroom material to grow at home.

His practices and knowledge are rooted in land based movements and personal connection to plants, seasonality, soil and the elements.
