Learn to grow your own gourmet Lion's Mane Mushrooms right on your kitchen counter with no special equipment!

Come hang out, talk mushrooms, and grow with us at The Mushroom Conservatory's biweekly Community Grow Circle - our casual "open lab" night for mushroom lovers of all levels. Bring photos of your grows for troubleshooting (no potentially contaminated containers in the shop please!), brag about your harvests, ask about functional mushrooms, or just meet fellow enthusiasts in a relaxed Q&A and show-and-tell vibe. No formal workshop - community, connection, and shared knowledge to help you succeed.

Join us for a hands-on evening at The Mushroom Conservatory and learn to grow your own gourmet King Oyster Mushrooms right on your kitchen counter! In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll guide you through the process of preparing your own King Oyster growing jar to take home and harvest from a few weeks later. King Oysters are prized for their thick, meaty stems that have a firm texture similar to scallops or abalone. They have a rich umami flavor with nutty undertones and hold up beautifully on the grill or roasted in the oven.
