Ladies of Mycology - Co ed Edition vs The Hook Nook Sanctuary

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. 💖

I found my people!

This Skool community is truly a sanctuary. Melissa is so sweet and after being in the community only a few days I already feel like she’s a good friend. I want to make tea and stitch with her in real life, every day!

Wonderful community full of learning

I love that every level of learning is welcome. The monthly crochet alongs are so much fun to see take shape. I have really enjoyed learning new stitches, and love being able to share my projects. The community and support make me feel like anything and everything is possible.

Amazing for newbies and experienced hook-ees

This was one of the first groups I joined on Skool a couple Of weeks ago. Always welcoming. Great lessons. And the people there are super friendly and helpful. Just a joyous place to be.
