This was an extremely interesting introduction to fungi, learnt that fungi is pretty amazing... Was specially awesome to get practical experience in inoculating tree stump with mycelium to attempt to grow mushrooms...

Something I've looked into before and have wanted to try for sometime now. Was a really great experience, Matt and Sven are very knowledgable on the subject. The energy was infectious and the folks who joined on the day were a pleasure to meet.

Matt & Sven give an excellent overview + introduction to the world of mushrooms, and inoculating a tree stump for years of home-grown mushrooms is a really fun way to spend an afternoon.
