MONDAY MUSHROOM CLASS

Monday evenings

Mycelium – the actual mushroom organism – expands deep down into the earth, and creates webs and networks of communications between plants and trees, mushrooms and the mysteries. Mushrooms are of the underworld, literally, as they grow out of the dark and into light, encouraged by moisture, by rain, by the life of water.

In this sequence of Monday evening mushroom classes we will be learning about a separate genus of mushrooms each time.

Cost: $25 payable to mailovaas@gmail.com via either PayPal or Venmo.

Please wear warm clothes and bring a blanket and/or a small cushion to sit on.

Space is limited.
