The Fungus Files
Silva an Outschool is a different kind of co-op!
We believe in risky play, dirt & community.
We are a group of families looking to engage, encourage and educate our children about sustainable living practices.
Our goal is to develop and strengthen new partnerships with non-profit organizations and farms to help reach our children in more creative ways.
This is a nature based homeschool co-op that focuses on the 12 principles and 3 ethics of permaculture.
We will be using the N American Mycology curriculum for all lessons and activities.
You will also receive $45 in product; mushrooms, tinctures or a combination of both.
Reishi, Turkey Tail & Lion’s Mane Tinctures $15 per ounce
Mushrooms $20 per pound
