Deepening the Science of Cultivation The Basic Biology of Mushrooms

Before diving into cultivation, it's crucial to understand the biology of mushrooms. Here are some highlights:

  • Mycelium: The network of white threads that constitutes the main body of the mushroom.
  • Spores: The microscopic seeds that kickstart the mushroom's life cycle.
  • Fruiting Body: The visible and edible part of the mushroom.

Choosing Species The choice of species to cultivate is a key step. While some prefer edible mushrooms like the button or oyster, others lean towards medicinal fungi for their therapeutic properties.

Kathy

I saw DoubleBlind was offering a class on mushroom cultivation.

The entire journey, from supplies to harvest, was truly magical for me. The 9-week course provided step-by-step instructions through written guides and excellent videos. It sounds too good to be true, but it was real and amazing how much effort went into this course and how much attention we received. We had a team of highly qualified mycologists.

An amazing experience and I would highly recommend it. Thanks, DoubleBlind!

I've been interested in plant-based medicines for a while, so I thought it would be a cool and practical way to explore those topics. I really enjoyed the course, it was super easy to follow. There were helpful experts who were there to answer all my questions.

Thanks to our amazing teachers and incredible community, I can now grow my own mushrooms.

I was already curious about mycology, but DoubleBlind's ‘How to Grow Mushrooms’ course came at just the right time during quarantine. I loved that I could access expert knowledge throughout the cultivation process.
