Friday, December 12, 2025 • 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
21300 Plank Rd., Courtland, VA 23837
This will be Part 3 of a 3-part series on mushroom cultivation. In this segment, we will learn how crucial conditions must be for Mushrooms fruiting. Proper Humidity, CO2 and Lighting are very crucial. Participants will learn to create mason jar grain spawn samples and receive guidance on transferring them to substrate. They will also build a small Mushroom Monotub fruiting chamber for cultivating at home.
