Think of it as adding mushrooms to your garden alongside your vegetables—another seasonal crop you can tend, harvest, and enjoy.

With years of experience teaching in the outdoors, Elan brings both depth and enthusiasm to one of her favorite subjects, sharing practical skills along with the many benefits of incorporating mushrooms into your diet and daily life. You’ll leave feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to grow your own fungi at home. 🍄
