Mushroom Growing Workshops

South London Mushroom ClubThe club holds monthly in person meetings for mushroom enthusiasts. Everybody is welcome to participate at the level right for them. Events are planned based on participants’ interests and facilitated by active members. The programme is varied focussing on diverse aspects related to fungi and mushrooms. We have a WhatsApp group for support, planning and exchange. Event costs are covered through donations, making these events accessible to lots of people. The best thing about the club is that we create connections, a bit like fungal networks. See what people say about their experience of the Mushroom Club: 'I love this club and I always enjoy it so much!’ - ‘Having only been to a few sessions so far I already feel so welcome to the club, thank you!’ - ‘It's awesome. So glad you set it up Adi xx’Mushroom Growing WorkshopsMy purpose is to support you in learning about fungi and enable you to become involved in mushroom cultivation and foraging. I offer a range of workshops at the Remakery or in collaboration with community gardens, schools and teams. This is how I can share knowledge and skills and explore ways in which mushrooms can be integrated into urban gardens to support well-being and social and environmental change. This not only enriches our understanding of local food production but also promotes sustainability and community resilience. Are you interested to learn more? Check out what participants have said: 'Adi ran a fantastic workshop for our community gardening network + volunteers; extremely engaging, accessible, fascinating and entertaining. Highly recommend.' (Barney) - 'It was an absolute pleasure having Adi as part of our STEM week.' (teacher) - 'That was the best workshop ever' (child, aged 8)Guided Foraging WalksMy walks are designed for beginners but even if you're a seasoned forager, there's something magical about the shared excitement of discovering mushrooms together. Following an introductory talk, we'll spend about 3 hours on a guided foraging walk in West Sussex. You will learn about do’s and don’ts; a handful of choice edible mushrooms for novice foragers and the poisonous ones to avoid; their habitats; foraging laws and; tips on harvesting, cooking and preserving different wild mushrooms. The walks will take place in autumn and they will sell out fast, so make sure you secure your place as soon as possible.
