Indoor Culinary Mushroom Cultivation

January 23 | 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Looft Hall at Iowa Western

Indoor Culinary Mushroom Cultivation with Tom O’Brien, owner of Gardens on Glen, is a hands-on workshop that introduces participants to the fascinating world of home mushroom growing. Students will learn the essential environmental factors—moisture, temperature, airflow, and substrate composition—that influence healthy mycelium growth and successful fruiting. 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.
