About the event
Amazing research is showing that mushrooms can boost our body's healing ability! Join mushroom professional Rodney Webb as he discussed the merits of the various delivery methods for these fungi.
In this class, Rodney will review extraction and delivery methods for the most common medicinal mushrooms: shiitake, chaga, lions mane, reishi, and turkey tail. He will compare and contrast the most efficient ways in the home setting to extract and preserve the targeted medicinal constituents for these fungi.
For the hands-on portion of the class, we will create and taste a chaga water extraction (tea!).
We will then discuss and complete in class the more advanced dual-extraction technique using either shiitake or turkey tail, and each student will have a bottle of mushroom extract to take home.
Rodney is happy to field questions and answers regarding medicinal mushrooms, with the understanding that we are unable to address personal medical issues or give medical advice.
Rodney is the owner of Appalachian Fungorum in Marshall, NC and has been cultivating various kinds of fungi for home use as well as area farmer's markets for over 20 years. He is one of HERBalachia's favorite fun instructors, and is always generous with his experience and knowledge.
