MycoRenewal Online Course

Running in January 2020, the online MycoRenewal Course will dive into the ins and outs of creating mycoremediation projects. Participants will hear from applied bioremediation experts to learn about the latest in the field, become myco-science literate, design proof of concept experiments, and learn how to find project funding. Assignments will guide participants in their own mycological journey and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. In providing this course, CoRenewal hopes to reinforce a worldwide mycelial network of people of various experiences and backgrounds.
