Class Description

Michigan’s Medicinal Mushrooms is an intensive exploration of therapeutic fungi native to Michigan. In this class, Tyler invites his students into a deeper, symbiotic relationship with fungi—recognizing their ecological intelligence and their emerging role in addressing modern chronic health challenges. Tyler covers seven species with clinically studied medicinal properties, including immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, adaptogenic effects, and more. Other discussions include safety considerations, and potential contraindications. All research cited and additional resources are provided for continued self-study. Throughout the lecture, participants will engage their senses with field samples of each species, as well learn historical use of these fungi by Indigenous peoples, along with their applications in wilderness survival and bushcraft. Ample space for Q&A will be provided throughout the class to support integration and reflection.
