Join Myco Manchester and Bristol Fungarium for a discussion of what it is like to cultivate and scale fungi for food, medicine and community. Myco is a small scale urban mushroom farm based in a market garden which focuses on community development and is currently working on creating a “genetics library” of local mushroom strains inspired by the seed sharing movement. Bristol Fungarium grows two tonnes a month of medicinal mushrooms, which they extract and bottle on site. They are working with RHS Wisley and Natural England to reintroduce native fungi strains to UK Forests. Hear the stories of these two fungi projects, and the lessons learned along the way.
