Step into the earthy world of fungi with John Ren of Samurai Fungi in this engaging workshop exploring the role of mushrooms in natural ecosystems and artistic inspiration. Drawing connections to the textures and tones of Andrew Wyeth’s depictions of rural life at Kuerner Farm, this introductory session invites participants to consider the hidden layers of the land beneath their feet. Through a one-hour lecture paired with visuals and a 30-minute Q&A, you’ll learn the fundamentals of growing mushrooms at home – from spores to harvest – using low-cost, accessible methods.Â
Bonus Make & Take: Each participant will also inoculate their own mini mushroom log to take home. Learn the basics of spore inoculation and create a functional, living sculpture that will grow over time, bringing a touch of nature’s quiet magic to your own backyard or garden.
