Mycology

The Evergreen State College ETPL
This 24-credit certificate program is designed for students and professionals seeking a foundation of knowledge and skills in mycology. This includes mycology training for natural resource managers, farmers, environmental scientists, restoration ecologists, and clinical social workers, health professionals, educators, and entrepreneurs. Interest in fungi for human health and the environment has exploded in the last decade. The value of specialty mushroom sales in the US exceeded $1 billion in 2021 and the psychedelic medicine industry has been projected to reach close to $7 billion by 2027. There is a need for individuals qualified to grow and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medicinal and nutritional mushroom products, as well as their potential in biotechnology, psychotherapy, and bioremediation. These career paths require knowledge of fungal biology along with chemistry, skills in the cultivation, identification and culturing of fungi, and training in community-based, sustainable, and ethical business practices.
