Teach a Mycology Workshop

Are you a non-profits, for-profit businesses, or individual that wants to partner and help us expand mycology education. We can accommodate both online and in-person workshops on a wide range of interest areas. We pay all of our educators and we have flexibility in determining ticket price, location, etc. Tell us about your interest areas and how you want to myceliate with us.

Join THE Leadership Circle

Our leadership circles don't require that you have a degree in mycology, just the enthusiasm for our mission. You also must already be or become a member. We meet the first Thursday of the month to organize educational programming and fundraisers. Being involved in the leadership circles is a way to learn even more about mycology.

Most donations and membership subscriptions are made through our website.

  • Education Circle: This circle organizes online and in-person lectures, workshops, forays, myco-blitzes, and anything related to learning about the fungi queendom.
