The Mushroom Lab

The Mushroom Lab is a unique blend of practical science, human health, mythology and hands-on mushroom cultivation lab sessions.  Hosted live in the after hours of Wildish Botanicals in Portland, OR, we welcome you to join us in this community-focused educational series where you will explore both practical and expansive subjects within the field of medicinal mycology.  We approach Mycology (the study of fungi) through the lens of human health and will focus on providing you the skill and awareness in mushroom cultivation, preparation, extraction and application in daily life.  These principles of cultivation can be applied to all species of commonly cultivated mushrooms.

All attendees will also gain access to Intro to Medicinal Mushrooms recorded course. (We have limited spacing of 30-35 and seats tend to fill up quickly).
