Matthew Monroe
Matt Monroe is a three-decade veteran of the documentary film world, who’s hauled his cameras and microphones across the planet – from Hawaii to the Himalayas; the Arctic to the Amazon. His introduction to psychedelics took place while documenting sacred ayahuasca ceremonies in Peru, where he went from being an observer to becoming a participant during the final night of filming. That introduction in Peru sparked a curiosity and a quest which – more than 20 years later – has become Matt’s cultivation journey, and resulted in the creation of the CULTIV8R CLUB, a company which he co-founded. Recognizing that confusion and outright misinformation was rampant within the world of at-home mushroom cultivation, Matt Monroe applied his love of science, engineering, and gardening to develop a kit system for growing mushrooms at home easily, conveniently, and with consistent results.
The Cultivator’s Journey
The world of at-home mushroom cultivation can be more than just a bit confusing. Contradictory information – and blatant misinformation – is rampant on the internet. Clear out the confusion and gain important foundational knowledge as Matt Monroe walks you through the basics of mushroom cultivation with a live demonstration of his techniques for inoculating grain bags, pasteurizing mushroom substrate, and maintaining a contamination free workspace. Extra emphasis will be placed on grain bag inoculation, as this is a pinch point for so many first time cultivators.
