SUMMARY:Using spent mushroom blocks for cultivation and soil remediation
DESCRIPTION:How can I find out more about fruiting these blocks or using them for other applications? We’ve scheduled a Zoom lecture with three panel presentations by urban mushroom cultivation experts.The program will provide an introduction on how to handle and to use the blocks towards various applications  including block  bed  and log cultivation  as well as  compost and soil building. The program will also be a great primer for those who want to inoculate their outdoor spaces and community gardens with mushrooms. https://youtu.be/XjdYNoDQURc Growing your own fungi is a wonderful way to better understand fungi – the conditions they need to fruit and their magical abilities to transform substrates. We highly encourage our members to take advantage of this special offer and to watch these great lecturers! More information on the panelists: Louis Vassar Semanchik/Smallhold has been cultivating mushrooms for a decade  growing a variety of wood- and compost-loving mushrooms  both outside in the garden and indoors using DIY methods  as well as  in professionally-designed indoor automated fruiting chambers. He is also well versed in non-sterile and sterile techniques for starting and maintaining mycelium cultures. He is a homegrown New Yorker  who currently lives in Austin  TX  and heads Research and Development at Smallhold  a distributed network of indoor specialty mushroom farms in NY  TX  and LA. Craig M. Trester/Harlem Grown is an educator and citizen scientist who utilizes principles of biomimicry and traditional ecological knowledge through applied mycology to develop regenerative solutions for many of the environmental challenges that impact our world. Through educational outreach he has sought to provide people with the knowledge and resources to recognize and practically apply the benefits that fungi have to offer our health  environment  and society. Craig believes novel approaches for bioremediation  carbon sequestration  and regenerative agriculture can be made a reality  through research of fungi and soil biology  diligent observation of our surroundings and intentional application of beneficial microorganisms. Ciara Sidell/Randall’s Island Park Alliance Urban Farm is a lifelong New Yorker  committed to growing food in educational spaces in NYC. Ciara has farmed at the Queens County Farm Museum  taught with City Growers on Brooklyn Grange’s rooftop farms  managed Harlem Grown’s network of growing spaces  and currently manages the Randall’s Island Park Alliance Urban Farm — an educational farm  designed completely with teaching and learning in mind. Ciara is endlessly interested in engaging folks in learning and discussion around the intersections of farming  justice  community  and the urban landscape. Recently  she completed Cornell Small Farm Program’s Community Mushroom Educator Training and has been incorporating mushroom cultivation into the farm on Randall’s Island. Outside of farming  she enjoys non-competitive team sports  and gets her adrenaline fix from biking on city streets.
