In Person & Online
Join us every LAST TUESDAY of the month via our Zoom link or join us in person at Super Good Labs for our popular fungal show-and-tell featuring the Mycelial Mass mushroom lab as well as all the projects of the students who join us. Each class will feature a live tutorial based on a pre-submitted question from one of our community members, including but not limited to inoculations, sterilization procedures, preparing agar, using grow bags, isolating wild mycelium and spores, research around mushroom medicines and much more! We will also feature surprise guest stars of the mycology scene giving us their perspectives as taxonomists, microbiologists, chefs, mushroom growers, extractors and fermenters!
We are now open for in-person attendance, but we would also like you to consider joining our Mycelial Mass Membership or offer to TA one of our events!

Mycelial Mass: IN PERSON, EVERY LAST SUNDAY
10:30am PST LAST SUNDAY of the Month
*email us to confirm*
Join us every LAST SUNDAY of the month as we host a limited attendance (12 ppl max) mushroom cultivation workshop (May-October) or wild mushroom walkabout (November-April)!
Our winter classes are starting soon, we will have some wild mushroom DNA Analysis classes at our new home at Super Good Labs in Oakland, as well as a whole bunch of fun mushroom walkabouts all over the bay area!
Want to know where we are going next? Keep tabs on our Mycelial Mass Facebook Group Page or join us as a MEMBER for access to some private walkabouts! (see details below)
Remember: Mushroom walkabouts ALWAYS get off trail, so wear long pants, good hiking boots, and bring water and snacks. If you want to bring a notepad, mushroom ID book or camera, people often enjoy having those as well. We will also give you a brief tutorial on how to use the iNaturalist.org platform if you'd like to contribute to science using your smart phone!

My Favorite Mushroom Podcast Episodes!
