July 25 lab night and culturing workshop

Lab night and fungi culturing workshop. Do you have a culture that has been particularly tricky? Do you need advice or help? Drop by for this informal workshop.

MYCOmmunity has recently opened up it's new space in Thornbury, Mycelium Laboratories Inc. The lab is spaceous and well equipped with mushroom growing and culturing equipment such as a flow hood, autoclave, pressure cookers etc. We also have general equipment used in the biological sciences including microscopes and equipment for DNA extraction and sequencing.

We are trialling running the lab on a by-donation basis; we are completely reliant on donations and fundraising events to stay open so any donations are appreciated.

We ask all participants to refrain from using the lab to conduct any riskly or illegal activities and to generally follow our Community Standards document. We also ask people to wear masks in accordance with health advice. While we support harm-minimisation and decriminalisation of medicinal fungi, as a small non-profit we need to follow all relevant legislation and maintain an inclusive and family friendly atmosphere. We also need to ensure that our facilities and equipment are used safely. We also ask that people respect the space, equipment and keep the lab clean and tidy. Our Community Standards document can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TIooIFlCol1oab54RrT7TNj-9Jusmj7X/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116278434675891134499&rtpof=true&sd=true

The entrance is through a roller door. The door and bell are for next door so please don't try to use them. If you have trouble getting into the building or need more info please call Ema on 0406508045.
