September 2018: Mark Brenner.
If you are interested in growing your own mushrooms, you are in luck! Our September presentation is by Mark Brenner. His talk is titled "Trash to Treasure: Growing Oyster Mushrooms on Waste Products." This is the perfect time of year to learn about mushroom cultivation, as mushrooms can be grown indoors, even after everything else has stopped!
