Mushroom Club Armenia

Mushroom Club Armenia is a new community in Yerevan for people interested in mushrooms, mycology, cultivation, sustainable food production, foraging, science, and fungi in general.
For our first meeting, we will get to know each other and talk about fungi! I can share my story of building a small oyster mushroom cultivation setup near Yerevan — including the part that did not go according to plan:)
Depending on the group's level of interest we can keep it light or delve into some practical aspects of cultivation. I will show some farm photos and answer your questions
I would love to share my fascination with fungi and have open discussions with all of you about fungi in general.

Who Should Come?
You do not need any mushroom-growing experience just interest is enough.
The meetup may be particularly interesting if you are interested in:
mushroom cultivation, biology and mycology, gardening and agriculture, fermentation and microbiology, sustainable food systems, wild mushrooms and nature, food entrepreneurship, or simply learning something unusual.
Experienced growers, researchers, chefs, farmers and foragers are very welcome.

What To Bring?
Nothing is required.
If you have grown mushrooms yourself, feel free to bring photos of your setup, contamination, harvests or experiments. We can discuss some of them together.
Please do not bring unidentified wild mushrooms intended for consumption.

Language
By default it's Armenian.
Questions and informal conversation can also be in English or Russian.

Participation Is Free!
Capacity: 10
Please RSVP only if you expect to attend. If your plans change, cancel your RSVP so somebody else can take the place.
