Mushroom Masterclass

There are over 15,000 species of fungi in the UK alone. Some are edible, some are inedible and others can be deadly. However, the properties of fungi do not stop at the plate - this extraordinary group holds some of the answers to the beginning and evolution of life on this planet. They have medicinal uses, religious and ritualistic significance, economic weight, and folklore spanning back to times before the written word.

Join one of our experts on a foray across the estate, identifying and learning about the preferred growing conditions of different fungi species. In the second part of the workshop, you'll learn how to grow your own mushrooms indoors at home and how to set your own shiitake dowels in logs to continue growing outdoors at home.
