How Learning Lab Has Evolved
Learning Lab is a community model and previously was a physical classroom for mycology cultivation and safe use education in Evergreen, CO. Founded by Reilly Steidle in 2024, this project has taught 3,000+ people how to use mushrooms, 300+ how to grow them, and clothed over 2,500 through clothing drives that gift participants mushrooms. Thousands of microdoses were made in the classroom and at events, that were then gifted for free at protests and other community gatherings. I refer to myself as a “Hope Dealer”. The Natural Medicine Act brings me great hope, and it is an honor to share the mushrooms I grow with you.
Over the past 2 years, I have learned quite a bit from the people I have gifted mushrooms to. They have shared their experiences with me and through potency testing, I have been able to learn a lot about what different people are experiencing, to make different recommendations. about how to help people achieve what they are looking for when coming to mushrooms. I am not a guide. My skillset is not most useful in that portion of your journey. I believe in personal use and access. It’s $3500 to sit for one psychedelic journey in a licensed healing center in CO. For $150, I will consult with you for an hour on any contraindications you have to using mushrooms, what may personally impact the dosage you need to get the results you are seeking, what you can expect when you take different strains or dosages, what frequency to use them with and how to integrate what is happening along your personal psychedelic journey. I believe the mushrooms are tools and I provide you with enough to meet the goals we discussed for 1-2 months. There is an intuitive component to eating mushrooms, which can be hard to discern if you have only used western medicine protocols. Mushrooms are not one size fits all. There is not one hand out that provides harm reduction for all mushrooms. Mushrooms can feel vastly different given their alkaloid profiles. My goal is to guide you on your journey to learning how you like to use mushrooms safely.
