Weavers Way Homesteading Workshop: Fantastic Fungal Allies

Thursday, June 15, 2017 - 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Join ethnobotanist and clinical herbalist Hayden Stebbins for a foray into the world of fungi!

Fungi are perhaps the most under appreciated kingdom of organisms, but their time for recognition has come. From food production to recycling and breaking down some of our most toxic wastes to creating some of the most promising new medicines, learn how fungi can make the world a better place, and how you can incorporate them into your daily life.

Hayden Stebbins graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelors of Science in Science of Natural and Environmental Systems and earned his Masters of Science from Schumacher College in England in Sustainable Horticulture and Food Production. He has since shadowed ethnobotanist Marc Williams (Director of www.botanyeveryday.com and Plants and Healers International) in Asheville, NC, teaching and learning about edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms up and down the eastern seaboard, and has completed the full-time clinical herbalism program at the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine led by Thomas Easley and Matthew Wood.
