Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
This is an intro course into mushrooms and mycology. We will be briefly going over several areas that deal with mushrooms like:
Ecology
Sustainablity
Edible mushrooms
Nutritional benefits and potential medicinal benefits
Mycoremediation
Mycogardening
Mushroom growing

This course is meant to gauge their interest in the subject and if they wish to pursue additional courses like my Growing Mushrooms 101 class and more to come. There is no experience or background required.
The learners will be writing up a brief document to show me what they learned. There is a flex mushroom class I have made as well.
Learning Goals
Students will begin to understand the roles that mushrooms can play in our ecosystems and become interested in seeing how we can create solutions for modern problems with them.

I started and ran a mushroom farm for over 4 years. In that time we were spoke at local, regional and national conferences. I have since moved on from the business, but educating people about mushrooms has always been the passion. I am excited to bring my hands on experience to my students.
