This is an exclusive 2-day immersion course with Tradd Cotter, founder of Mushroom Mountain that covers cultivation, mycoremediation, medicinal mushrooms, gardening with fungi, and soil creation. Beginners and advanced students alike will walk away with the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish a range of personal or professional goals including cultivating fungi on small and large scales, incorporating edible mushrooms and beneficial fungi into garden designs, cultivating and preparing medicinal mushrooms, and cleaning contaminated soils and polluted water through mycoremediation. The weekend workshop is designed to empower and energize anyone who attends to make a difference in their local communities; it encourages the rapid employment of these concepts worldwide as a collective collaboration.

Tradd Cotter is a microbiologist, professional mycologist, and organic gardener, who has been tissue culturing, collecting native fungi in the Southeast, and cultivating both commercially and experimentally for more than twenty-two years. In 1996, he founded Mushroom Mountain, which he owns and operates with his wife, Olga, to explore applications for mushrooms in various industries and currently maintains over 200 species of fungi for food production, mycoremediation of environmental pollutants, and natural alternatives to chemical pesticides. Tradd is the best-selling author of Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation for Everyone (Chelsea Green).
