Approximately 75 preschool students and teachers were involved in this event. The kids were three to six years old, of different ethnicity and background. The ice-breaking session, which was conducted by the 11 students from the CSFI program (Biology I), received warm participation from the children and the activity went well with the children getting their hands into germinating the oyster mushrooms. The activity was also supported by one of the co-organizers, Happy Health (M) Sdn Bhd, of which they supplied the mushroom spores, petrol subsidy, and sponsored for the closing ceremony of the event and introduced the fungal essence herbal product to the parents.
