Using an All-in-One Mushroom Grow Kit, attendees will practice inoculating their substrate with mycelium spores, ensuring proper sterilization and contamination prevention. Tom will guide participants through each stage of the cultivation process, from setup to harvest, offering practical tips for maintaining ideal indoor growing conditions. By the end, students will have the skills and confidence to produce gourmet mushrooms right at home.
