Olga Tzogas created & operates Smugtown Mushrooms in Rochester NY.
Her journey with Fungi and plants started over ten years ago. Working with these allies by foraging in both urban & more wild settings, and learning to identify their use for food and medicine.
In 2011, Smugtown Mushrooms was established because there was a need for mushrooms education, growing supplies, workshops, events & community based science in her area. While learning more and embracing the never-ending, unlocked potential mushrooms & fungi have to help heal both people, planet & soul. She teaches workshops throughout the continent about wild mushroom identification, medicinal mushrooms, biology, and mushroom cultivation.
