Mushrooms are some of the most potent natural medicines available to us from the natural world! These complex beings operate and behave differently than plants and so we must learn to work with them differently. In this class we will look at Medicinal mushrooms over all, exploring some common compounds found throughout the mushroom queendom, and how to properly extract those compounds. From there we will dive more specifically into certain mushrooms and look at their unique makeup and how to work with them to support our own health, or the health of clients for practitioners, exploring some traditional uses and clinical research for each mushroom we discuss. This class will lay the foundation for working with medicinal mushrooms in all capacities!
