Cool It Burque Events
Join us to learn fungal basics and hands-on instruction on how to grow your own edible mushrooms outdoors!
This event is free and open to all. Want to reserve an inoculated log to take home (limit 30)? 🪵 RSVP HERE!
🧙‍♂️ This workshop will be led by mushroom wizard David Augustyniak, the owner, operator and creative vision of The Art Farm Unincorporated, UnI(You and I) Fungi, and Southwest Funga Fest.
He’ll teach us all about Low-Tech/No-Tech Mushroom Cultivation (OUTDOOR edition)!
“Join me as I share 10+ years of low-tech/no-tech solutions to cultivating mushrooms. It is a common misconception that you have to have a lab or a still air-box at minimum, so I tested that theory and found solutions outside of the box. I share and explore how I ran my mushroom farm for three years open air in my kitchen, and how we evolved from the start.
“I will discuss all the necessary steps to make home and hobby cultivation accessible for almost anyone with no skills required. We will discuss all my outdoor cultivation experiments and how you can be successful growing mushrooms outdoors in the desert. We will also do a hands on demo where everyone will leave with a chance to grow their mushrooms.”
Please consider a $5-20 donation to support David’s teaching and work!

Let’s grow mesquites! Mesquites are wonderful native, drought-tolerant, food-producing trees, and the time to propagate them is now!
Join us for a workshop all about mesquites, where we will walk you through the steps to grow them from seed. You’ll get to eat a mesquite pancake, learn to process mesquite pods, and take home your very own baby mesquite tree.
This is a low cost, low input, high impact way to support your community and local ecosystem! Don’t have a place to plant your tree? Ask your neighbors, or, the sapling can be used for a future Cool It Burque project once it’s grown a bit bigger under your care.
