For millenia, mushrooms have supported and nourished our ecosystem; from encouraging absorbtion of nutrients to providing valuable medicinal constituents to sustain growth. They have guided humans, plants and everything in between. Mushrooms are not just the great connectors and nourishers, but also the great defenders: they build and fortify the host's response (yup,that's us!) to resist various pathogens, stress and illnesses.

This is a hands-on herbal medicine workshop where we will cover basic identication and sustainable foraging, as well as deep dive into mushroom preparations (including simple and double extractions, cooking, mushroom powders, etc), medicinal properties and constituents. We will also discuss how to identify reliable sources for purchasing mushroom extracts and the various differences between commercial preparations.

We will be covering the following mushrooms: shiitake, reishi, lion's mane, maitake and turkey tail. Each participant will take home a mushroom tincture.

Delicious home cooked vegetarian lunch is included.

Please note that our home is accessible via NJT, class schedule is designed to accommodate train schedules from the Harriman Train Station (about 8 minutes away). We will pick you up and drive you back to the station if an Uber is not available.
