Join us for a preview of our 3-part beginner-friendly cultivation series will guide you through building a home lab, inoculating and cloning mushrooms, and fruiting your very first harvest. No PhD, lab coat, or spaceship required, just curiosity, a little DIY spirit, and some disinfectant wipes.
YOUR MISSION BRIEFING: WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In this concentrated 30-minute session, you will be equipped with the foundational skills to begin your journey as a Spore Corps Cadet. You will learn to:
DECODE THE MYCELIAL NETWORK: Unlock the basic science of fungi—not as academic theory, but as a folk knowledge and survival strategy. Understand how mycelium communicates and builds resilience, just like our community.
MASTER BASIC INOCULATION PROTOCOLS: Go beyond the theory. We'll demonstrate the core technique of introducing spores to a nutrient source—the critical first step in cultivating your own ecosystem. This is where soft rebellion takes root.
IDENTIFY THE KEY STAGES OF THE FRUITING BODY LIFECYCLE: Learn to recognize the signs of healthy mycelial colonization and the transition to pinning and fruiting. This is the knowledge to decompose old paradigms and fruit new possibilities.
ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE: Discover how Spore Corps operates as a decentralized network, sharing resources and data to ensure collective success. This is biotech as a tool for liberation, not just personal gain.
IS THIS BRIEFING FOR YOU?
This session is designed for:
DIY mycologists and food security advocates ready to weaponize their knowledge.
Gardeners, artists, and educators seeking new, inclusive tools for engagement.
Anyone feeling the call to join the fruiting body of the resistance and decompose the status quo.
Your 30-minute mission will conclude with a live Q&A with Spore Corps command and exclusive intelligence on how to enlist in our full program.
The Spore Corps awaits. Inoculate. Cultivate. Liberate. Sign-up for a membership to get discounts on workshops, walks, and mycology related events.
