What you'll do
Welcome to the wonderful world of fungi! Ever wanted to grow your own mushrooms, but didn’t know where to start? Then this Melbourne workshop is for you. Mushrooms are a fun, easy and practical food source to grow yourself, no matter how much space you have available.
Â
In this mushroom cultivation workshop, you’ll learn the practical skills to grow a never-ending supply of mushrooms yourself! We want to enable our students to take away the knowledge to create a self-sufficient, closed-loop ecosystem, using an easy-to-follow and proven process.
Â
We’ll start with an introduction to the fungi kingdom and its important role in our planet’s ecology before jumping into the science of cultivation. You’ll get the low down on the four-step lifecycle of mushroom cultivation, the golden formula for harvesting mushrooms forever, as well as handy tips and tricks for getting the most out of your harvest, alternative applications for different growing mediums and species.
You’ll also take home everything you need to get you started, including a bucket brimming with oyster mushroom mycelium, which will have you producing your own mushrooms in as little as three weeks!
Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class
Please note: This venue is located on the first floor via a flight of stairs and does not have wheelchair accessibility.

Eric Fenessy
5.0 (11)
Meet Eric, the brains behind Steezeys Hotsauce, and fungi fanatic, his passion for quality produce and tasty treats is undeniable. Sparked by curiosity, his interest in mushroom cultivation quickly grew into a fungi infatuation. He’s condensed his experiences and is keen for students to learn from his mistakes and eureka moments.
Your host
Work-Shop is a creative concept that will broaden your horizons and help you unleash your inner awesome. We provide affordable short courses in life skills and alternative art. We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.
Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
