Mushroom cultivation workshops in London
Grow gourmet mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds and straw - and leave with a grow bag you made yourself.
Hands-on growing workshops
You leave my workshops with your own grow bag and the skills to keep it going at home. Everything is hands-on: substrate preparation on recycled coffee grounds and straw, inoculation, and the fruiting conditions that make the difference between a shelf ornament and a harvest. I am a teacher by profession - PhD, fifteen years lecturing - and it shows in how the sessions run: everyone learning from each other as much as from me.
Oyster mushroom growing
Oysters are the honest place to start: vigorous, forgiving, and delicious. We grow them on waste - coffee grounds and straw that would otherwise be thrown away - which is why these workshops double as the most practical circular-economy lesson you can hold in your hands.
Weekday workshops during foraging season
Through the autumn I run midweek sessions - ideal for groups, community gardens and teams who want a weekday slot while the weekends belong to the foraging walks.
Private and group bookings
Workshops run at the Remakery in South London, in community gardens, or at your workplace. For a private group or a team, the organisations page covers formats and how a session is designed - or simply contact Adi.
What you take home
Your own inoculated grow bag, the knowledge to fruit it, and access to the step-by-step cultivation guides to refer back to. Sliding-scale tickets keep the sessions accessible to everyone.
