Culinary & Medicinal Mushrooms Workshop

Amazing research is showing that mushrooms can boost our body's healing ability! Join mushroom professional Rodney Webb as he discussed the merits of the various delivery methods for these fungi.

In this class, Rodney will review extraction and delivery methods for the most common medicinal mushrooms: shiitake, chaga, lions mane, reishi, and turkey tail. He will compare and contrast the most efficient ways in the home setting to extract and preserve the targeted medicinal constituents for these fungi.

Rodney is happy to field questions and answers regarding medicinal mushrooms, with the understanding that we are unable to address personal medical issues or give medical advice.

He will also focus on several edible mushroom species which can be both foraged and propagated in our area for culinary use such as oysters, shiitake, and lion's mane.

Mushrooms are enjoying time in the spotlight, but attention needs to be paid to proper handling and storing of these nutritious crops.

Rodney will discuss safe harvesting, proper kitchen handling, best cooking techniques, and efficient storage to save the harvest for a later date.

After the lecture, we will all enjoy several mushroom dishes to taste different flavors and cooking techniques.

Rodney is the owner of Appalachian Fungorum in Marshall, NC and has been cultivating various kinds of fungi for home use as well as area farmer's markets for over 20 years. He is one of HERBalachia's favorite fun instructors, and is always generous with his experience and knowledge.
