FUNGI TOWN Mushroom Gardening Workshop

Join Jassy Drakulic and Lorin Von Longo-Liebenstein for an outdoor workshop on Hay Castle lawn.

Against popular belief, mushroom growing in gardens does not only work behind the house, tucked away in the shade. There are many ways to include fungi into gardens and even more good reasons to do so. Fungi play an incredibly important role in most ecosystems and including them in your garden can bring a variety of benefits to your green space that go beyond a delicious harvest. As a direct food source or in the form of wood decomposed by fungi that functions as breeding or hunting grounds, a lot of creatures depend on fungi in different stages of their lives. While growing plants for pollinators in gardens is very common these days, having deadwood with fungi growing on it to provide homes for them is still quite niche.
