Spora Lab Masterclass

Spora Lab Masterclass Program

1. Our Story

Spora – from a single growing kit in the kitchen to a full mushroom laboratory. We will share the story of how we grew into a functional mushroom company, and what we have been working on — in our products, our lab, and beyond.

2. Brief Theoretical Overview

In plain language, we will explore the fungi kingdom, mushroom classification, and functional and gourmet species — and which mushrooms can and cannot be grown at home.

3. Practical Session

You will learn everything needed to grow functional or gourmet mushrooms at home – we will cover all the processes from spore to mushroom. Practical, experience-based tips, demonstrations, a list of necessary resources and raw materials, and recommendations on where to source them.

4. Workshop

You will have the opportunity to prepare your own substrate bag and inoculate it with the mushroom species of your choice. You will take your prepared substrate bag home and after a few weeks you can expect your first mushroom harvest.

5. Lunch

We will enjoy dishes made from mushrooms grown at Spora — spicy pink oyster mushroom soup and lion's mane burgers. We will also taste functional kombucha with lion's mane extract and, in a relaxed atmosphere, share stories and answer any remaining questions.

Digital Handbook

So you can fully enjoy the masterclass without trying to remember or write everything down – afterwards you will receive access to the digital handbook. The handbook contains all the methods, recipes, instructions, and other selected information mentioned during the masterclass that will be useful for practical mushroom growing at home.
