GROW x Merlin Sheldrake: The Future of Youth in Mycology
About
🍄 Merlin Sheldrake is coming to the GROW Farm! 🍄We're incredibly lucky to welcome best-selling author, biologist, and mycologist Merlin Sheldrake to the GROW Farm this July for a special evening exploring The Future of Youth in Mycology, alongside our Fungi Academy students.
📍 The GROW Farm at The Totteridge Academy
📅 7 July
⏰ 7–9pm
WHY ARE WE HOSTING THIS EVENT?
Fungi hold key potential for the future — from improving soil health and supporting biodiversity to strengthening food security in both urban and rural environments. GROW created the UK’s first AQA-certified programme in Mushroom Cultivation & Mycology, created to empower young people facing barriers to education and employment.
We believe the next generation should be at the forefront of discovering what's possible with one of the most overlooked and transformative organisms on Earth.
This evening is an opportunity to hear from one of the world's leading voices in mycology, while celebrating the work our students are doing - and imagining what comes next.
How fungi can help shape more resilient food systems, healthier soils, and stronger communities? Why is outdoor cultivation, intercropping, and experimentation so important?
THE EVENING
• Welcome and introduction to GROW's fungi programme
• Guided fungi tour of the farm
• Panel discussion: The Future of Youth in Mycology
