Hello mystics! We are cross-posting this event from our friends at Mindfull Mycology, a local provider of high potency mushroom extracts.
This six hour workshop, with a meal and mycology supplies included, is for anyone who is curious about foraging and growing their own culinary and medicinal mushrooms -- and wanting an expert guide to get started!
Join us at our 40-acre property just outside Dahlonega from 9:00am - 3:00pm
🍄 Learn how to identify and forage for wild mushrooms
🍄 Go for a guided mushroom foray in our 25 acre forest
🍄 Lunch on Lion’s Mane mushroom "crab" cakes (vegetarian, gluten-free)
🍄 Take a tour of Mindfull Mycology’s farm and learn the step-by-step process of mushroom growing and extraction
🍄 Make an Oyster mushroom grow kit to take home and harvest fresh mushrooms from in ~3 weeks
Mindfull Mycology is a small-batch medicinal mushroom extract company rooted in the southern Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia.
Founded by Sam Blackstone — a former award-winning investigative journalist and Fungi Academy teacher with over five years of cultivation experience. The company was built on a straightforward premise: make the most potent extract possible, and let quality speak for itself.
Sam grows, forages, harvests, processes, and extracts nearly everything in-house, supported by his partner Sophie, an engineer and ecological landscape designer.
Their dual-extract methodology, Soxhlet extraction process, and commitment to full sourcing transparency set Mindfull Mycology apart in an industry where dilution and filler are standard practice.
Mira & Alex would add: "They can be found at most every Atlanta Mushroom Festival as well as the Roswell and Alpharetta Farmer's Markets!"
TESTIMONIAL: "Worth the drive"
My friends and I had an awesome time at this bountiful mushroom foray. We learned about some new and familiar species in Georgia. I was attracted by the foraging and but enjoyed observing and practicing some cultivation techniques. Sam is a great teacher with a very accessible speaking style. I recommend for newbies and intermediate. The forest on their property was full of great finds, fungal and beyond. The delicious lunch Sophie made and bonding with like-minded fungi nerds made it all the more special!
