Learn to grow delicious oyster mushrooms. A hands-on workshops that provide starter kits and samples from a local farm.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Oyster mushrooms. They are highly nutritious and terribly tasty. You can grow them indoors, and they start to mushroom up in about two weeks. The Yorkshire Mushroom Emporium (let's call them YME, it's simpler), started production from a garage. Four guys on a mission to produce high quality, delicious produce, grown locally. From this simple start, they now wholesale their gourmet mushrooms to cafes, restaurants and green-grocers, but it doesn't end there. They want to spread the love and through workshops teach you how to become a master mushroom grower.
