Mycologos

Mycologos is a school and research hub dedicated to all that mushrooms and other fungi offer. It advances and shares fungi-related skills that increase quality of life and promote a more sustainable future. Mycologos also design tools and materials that promote the many benefits of mycology (the study of fungi) for people and the planet. Its purpose is to train and inspire more practicing mycologists (no matter their background or interest in mycology) through high quality courses and products. Only when many more people are knowledgeable about mycology will the greatly needed advancement of the science occur.
