The Wild Mushroom Foraging Course
In this course, you will learn mycology and how mycelium interacts in the ecosystem. I will cover the different mushroom groups and their roles in the forest. Some mushrooms are great at breaking down and recycling wood, while other mycelium work cooperatively with tree roots in the soil. I will cover common edible mushrooms throughout the entire year!
What You'll Learn
The Role of Mycology in the forest
