Upcoming Events

The Garden Gathering: Community Fungi Cultivation

Sunday 27 September
Lambourne End Centre for Outdoor Learning, Manor Road, Romford, Essex, RM4 1NB
Join us for The Garden Gathering, a community day at Lambourne End Centre for Outdoor Learning celebrating gardens, seasonal food and fungi. Explore the gardens, enjoy a seasonal farm and garden lunch, and discover the hidden world beneath our feet. We’ll be joined by Lotta from the London Mycology Project for a hands-on fungi cultivation workshop, where you’ll learn about mycelium and growing edible mushrooms. Together, we’ll explore how fungi can become part of our gardens and communities, while creating a mushroom growing space in the community garden. Come along to learn, explore, eat and grow together!

EDUCATION

We believe fungi cultivation is a powerful tool for sustainability and food security.

We're democratising mycology knowledge and empowering individuals with practical skills for growing their own mycelium for materials, soil, food and community.

Through regenerative, low-tech cultivation methods, we teach sustainable and circular practices that anyone can implement.

We grow on repurposed waste products without single-use plastic, sterile conditions or energy demanding infrastructure.

Accessible & regenerative techniques

We teach fungi cultivation without the plastic and complex energy-demanding infrastructure - our systems are integrated, connected, low-cost and sustainable.

Circular Growing Supplies

We repurpose by-products and waste streams to source substrates, spawn cultures, and equipment. Our products meet rigorous standards to ensure successful fruiting and healthy mycelial development from spore to harvest.

Site-specific support & guidance

We want to show you how growing fungi can work for you. Low-maintenance, low-tech with all the benefits, we help you build fungi systems that work quietly underground.

COMMUNITY FUNGI CULTIVATION
