We will be returning to where it all began! Just down the road from the original Little Acre shipping container farm, we will be running the workshop in the Kurilpa Hall in West End.
Next door to the West End Library, the Hall is located on Boundary Street. West End is bustling with activity on a weekend so street parking may be limited. The Hall is a short walk from several bus stops and a 15min walk from South Brisbane Train Station.
The Hall is disability accessible with accessible toilets. If you have any questions about the location please contact us.
If you've bought an in-person ticket and can't attend the workshop for any reason we require you to notify us 48 hours prior to the workshop date to be able to refund you or place you in a future workshop.

Mickey founded Little Acre with Amy in 2017 and has grown Little Acre from the ground up. From lab work to building a steriliser, or designing a growing chamber, Mickey’s got a head full of scientific and practical knowledge and there’s rarely a mushroom related question he can’t answer.
Mickey received a 2022 Churchill Fellowship allowing him to visit mushroom facilities in Europe, Japan and the USA where he gained international expertise. He has also completed Spawn and Substrate production training at the internationally recognised Mycelia Academy in Belgium in 2022.
Mickey has taught hundreds of students mushroom cultivation skills and will put you on the path to success.
Amy has clocked over 30,000 hours observing the growth patterns of mycelia and mushrooms while managing Little Acre’s farming operations since 2017. Amy can tell you down to the hour of when a mushroom will be perfect to pick and has extensive experience in how climatic conditions can affect your crop.
Amy traveled abroad with Mickey in 2023, observing farming practices in some of the world’s largest mushroom operations and learning from growers with decades and generations of mushroom knowledge.
"The ecology and biology was a great place to start and the practical workshop was a perfect (near) ending too. The two presenters were knowledgeable and encouraged questions. The range of resources (books and fungi) to look at and provoke discussion were great too. The course was good value and the mushroom kits to take home were generous."

"The class was very informative - I learnt lots of things about mushrooms/fungi that I didn't know, including uses as building materials and medicine. It was interesting to listen to and take part in. The practical side of things was easy. We took home kits we'd made and other goodies. The location was great, central and easy to find."

"Amazing presentation. I would highly recommend doing this workshop to anyone who is interested in growing or learning about mushrooms. A wealth of knowledge gained that has sparked a real keen interest in the the mycology field. Thank you so much guys and the Little Acre business for allowing me to be apart of an amazing day."
