Such a fun(gi) day! Fascinating info on the medicinal uses of mushrooms and loved the woodland walk – have never seen so many mushrooms in one place 🍄 Really excited to try my cordyceps extract, and feel confident to make my own in the future. Thanks Ben !

Thanks Ben,
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was an introduction to a whole new, fascinating discipline for me and I am looking forward to discovering more about the health benefits of mushrooms and making my own potions!

This was a fascinating afternoon. Ben is very knowledgeable and was excellent at answering all our questions. We made a cordyceps tincture and I am feeling much more energy after having a few drops at breakfast. Also looking forward to trying more mushroom tinctures.
