A trippy new school in St Pete is hosting some informative workshops for those interested in the world of mushrooms and mycology. Learn Euphoria officially opened its doors to curious minds earlier this year as Florida’s first psychedelic school, and their mushroom growing workshops have quickly become a fan favorite.
Learn Euphoria offers several different classes focused on psychedelic education, which are hosted in their Grand Central facility, 1916 Central Avenue, at Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary. In particular, the workshops dedicated to growing mushrooms have become quite popular. “Mushroom Growing 101” and “Advanced Mushroom Growing” both take a deep dive into the world of mushrooms and are fascinating experiences for experts and newcomers alike, as these expertly guided, in-depth workshops create a sense of community among the cutting-edge education.
While the Learn Euphoria workshops are focused on teaching students how to grow mushrooms, the full experience provides far more than just academic knowledge. These small-group, hands-on classes are an opportunity to network with fellow enthusiasts, exchange ideas, and engage with mycologists while fostering a shared passion for the mushroom-growing journey.
Journey into the world of psychedelics
Founder and educator Carlos Hermida is quick to clarify that there are no psychedelics in class. Instead, the courses focus on history, usage, FAQs, and even legal mushroom cultivation – such as Lions Mane and Cordyceps – emphasizing a safe and responsible approach to psychedelics. The workshops take place at the St. Petersburg location of Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary, a trusted hub for educational events and community engagement
The introductory “Mushroom Growing 101” is designed for those eager to learn the fundamentals of mushroom cultivation. Covering essential techniques, substrates, and the growth process, this workshop provides participants with the tools to start cultivating a variety of mushrooms.
Building the 101 foundation, the “Advanced Mushroom Growing” workshop is where hobbyists, enthusiasts, and aspiring mycologists can dive into the complexities of cultivation. Participants will explore cutting-edge techniques for cultivating mushrooms, with a focus on sustainability and eco-friendly practices. From understanding advanced substrates to setting optimal environmental conditions, students gain insight into mycology’s most innovative practices.
Engage with the local community
In the big picture, Learn Euphoria is dedicated to expanding the knowledge, understanding, and growing legalization of psilocybin and psilocybin therapies. Offering a wide variety of classes not limited to mushrooms, Learn Euphoria’s curriculum spans the historical, legal, and pharmacological aspects of psychedelics, preparing participants with a foundational understanding of their potential uses and benefits.
Upcoming classes include: Microdosing Amanita Muscaria on December 13; Growing Mushrooms 101 on December 20; How to Microdose on January 3; Advanced Mushroom Growing on January 17; and How To Trip Sit on February 17.
