The Mushroom Course
Are you concerned about rising food prices and food security?
Do you strive to be more self-reliant and live more sustainably?
Learning to forage and grow your own mushrooms can help you take a leap forward in your food sovereignty.
Mushrooms are nutritious, containing protein, vitamins, and a list of sophisticated medicinal benefits.
And, unlike other garden crops, you don’t need a lot of space or time to grow an entire year's supply and save money on your grocery bills.
You can even grow mushrooms in an urban environment, and if you know how to wild forage them safely and sustainably, you can get your supply freely off the landscape.
Our friends at Wild Muskoka Botanicals have been growing and foraging mushrooms for over a decade and have put together a comprehensive online training.
Avoid the most common mistakes when learning to grow edible and medicinal mushrooms.
Learn the best techniques and species for your specific conditions
And become more confident in your wild mushroom identification skills
