Workshop in São Paulo teaches how to grow mushrooms at home
Activity will be taught by experts in the field of fungi
The activity entitled "Home cultivation of edible mushrooms" aims to present the main steps for the cultivation of mushrooms shimeji (Pleurotus ostreatus) from techniques and materials that can be developed at home or in apartments.
During the workshop, through practical activities, participants will be invited to develop all stages for cultivation, from the preparation of the culture medium for isolation from fresh mushrooms, to the preparation of the inoculum ("seed") and of the cultivation substrate, whose final objective is the development of new mushrooms in standardized packaging, requiring little space and few resources.
At the end of the activity, each participant will take a package ready for the development of new mushrooms.
