Cultivating mushrooms indoors
Tuesday, March 12, 7 pm
Clyde Lake, co-owner, Virginia Spores & More
Do you want to garden at home, but the yard’s too shady? Or do you love mushrooms but can’t always afford them? Learn how to cultivate mushrooms year-round indoors from the co-owner of Virginia Spores & More, Clyde Lake. He'll give an overview of what a mushroom is, share a little bit about its lifecycle and its potential effects on humans and climate, then provide instruction for how to grow them.
Clyde Lake is co-owner of Virginia Spores & More, a northern Virginia-based mushroom cultivation supply company. He has also recently started the Virginia Mushroom Growers Association, a non-profit dedicated to educating young people about mushrooms. Continue your mushroom-growing education through two Virginia Spores & More classes this spring: on 4/22 at James “Buddie” Ford Nature Center in Alexandria and on 4/27 at Frying Pan Park Herdon.
