Description:
Our group is for all levels of mushroom cultivators. The overarching goal of this group is to share techniques, knowledge and genetics with fellow cultivators. Genetics swaps will be a part of all meetings, with trading and sharing being encouraged. We aim to meet at least once a month year-round.
Meetings and discussions will vary by month, with presentations, tours, and workshops as how we hope to spend the majority of gatherings of our group. Members of the hobbyist and commercial community are welcome, though the focus will be mainly on small scale cultivation.
