This half day workshop will discuss how mushrooms can be used to support different aspects of health including immunity, stress management, energy levels and cognitive health. We will discuss in detail different species of mushrooms used as medicine, including shiitake, oyster, lion's mane, reishi, chaga and cordyceps. There will be demonstration and discussion of different ways mushrooms can be prepared for use, including hot water decoction (tea) and dual extraction tinctures. Learn how each mushroom offers some unique medicine, and how to select the best form and type of medicinal mushroom to support your holistic wellness.
This workshop is complementary to the information presented in Robin Mercy's mushroom log culture workshop in the afternoon. Sign up for both courses to make a mushroom log with some of the mushrooms you learn about! Sign up for Make Your Own Mushroom Log here!
