This class is intended for professional educators, not open to the general public.

In this hands-on workshop, North Spore will show you how to integrate edible fungi into the gardens and landscapes all around you. Whether you teach science, agriculture, environmental studies, or lead a school or community garden, this class is designed to give you practical tools and understanding you can bring directly into your curriculum. Mushrooms build soil, recycle organic matter, and help students see ecological systems in action.

This three-part SporeCorps beginner series teaches you how to set up a budget-friendly home lab, practice clean inoculation and cloning techniques, and successfully fruit and harvest your first mushrooms. Through livestreamed, hands-on “missions” with a retro–science-camp vibe, you’ll gain practical skills, troubleshoot confidently, and join a community of DIY growers. You’ll also get recordings, supply lists, a Level 1 certificate, and fun extras like mission patches and contamination stickers.
