Dive into the fascinating world of fungi and learn some of the simplest mushroom cultivation techniques you can practice at home. Kids will learn how to cultivate edible oyster mushrooms with common household supplies and each kid will go home with their own oyster mushroom grow kit. If time allows, we may also take a short trail walk to learn about mushrooms in the wild. Guardian supervision required.
The workshop will be led by Aubrey Carter of Mushroom Monday and is being co-hosted by the Dennis Conservation Land Trust and Barnstable County 4H.
Ages 5+, Guardian supervision required.

About Aubrey: Aubrey found mushrooms through an ecological lens. Before a move to the Cape in February, he worked at different ecological institutions in and around the NYC area — most prominently with the Central Park Conservancy in Manhattan and Manitou Point Preserve in Garrison, NY. Nearly five years ago, he started a weekly newsletter at mushroommonday.com that highlights different mushrooms he finds throughout his travels. Additionally, he has cultivated mushrooms both indoors and outdoors, spoken at different mycological conferences, and recently helped reestablish the Cape Cod Mycological Society.
