Ladies of Mycology - Co ed Edition vs The Crochet Circle

I love the community

I love the community and willingness of not only the admins, but the community as a whole helping each other be successful. It is a very positive environment! They have fun interactive post to keep everyone engaged and very informative classes. There is no drama and everyone always has positive and constructive feedback. It is a safe sace for women to learn about Mycology and I am grateful for this group! Mush Love!

One of the biggest shocks I had when first getting into mushroom cultivation...

One of the biggest shocks I had when first getting into mushroom cultivation almost 10 years ago, was that *some* people were very unfriendly (and sometimes unkind) to newbies. I’m sure all of us have come across at least one person like this. You probably know what I’m talking about. It got so bad that newbies are sometimes scared to ask a simple question for fear of being ridiculed. When I joined Ladies of Mycology this was the absolute opposite. The ladies were always super friendly, helpful, and would go out of their way to help by answering questions, give scientifically backed advice (not “bro science”), no “I’m right and I know better than you” attitude. It actually felt like a community! 🫂 The guys were always so jealous (in a good way of course! 😉). They wanted to be part of a community like ours, but of course, LOM was only open for ladies and Non-binary folks. That was until NOW! 🥳🙌🏼✨ LoM has extended its invitation to all people! Now everyone can be a part of such amazing community: men, women, everyone. LOM has evolved a lot in all the years it’s been around (yay for opening its doors to men! 🥳) but it has always been and always will be a safe place to learn the art of cultivation, ask questions, and just meet awesome people. No jerks allowed though. 💖

A warm and cosy hug

Caroline is many things to me. She is an inspiration to greatness in business. She's fearless and pushes you out of your comfort zone. She's obviously incredibly talented in her craft. She has a warm, motherly energy. She makes everyone feel welcome, supported, and taken care of. Her community is the perfect symposium of all of the above. If you are an absolute beginner in your craft, she'll never give up on you, and if you are a professional, she honours your knowledge. She gives everyone a chance to shine, and being in her community is a blessing.

Best Crochet Circle

I learned crochet from my grandma as a child and never practised. I joined this community because of Caroline, and it is a wonderful space not only for crochet. Amazing members, fantastic engagement and outstanding crochets.

From Knots to Projects...

As a child I once made tea cosies, returning to crochet as an adult... I made knots! I joined the community to relearn a lost skill. It's a fantastic community especially as a beginner - or false beginner like me! I'm currently working on one of the little projects that the community has to offer. I love how members are showcased. This gives me inspiration and motivation.
