Mushroom Courses: Psychedelic, Medicinal and Cultivation Training

Quick answer: This is our curated list of mushroom courses and trainings, from psychedelic facilitator and integration programs to medicinal mushrooms and cultivation. Cohort-based courses with a set start date are listed first, followed by on-demand courses you can start any time. Each one is tagged virtual or in person.

We check each course against the provider's own site. Listing a course is not an endorsement, and nothing here is medical or legal advice. Psilocybin is still illegal under US federal law, so read our mushroom legalization guide before you enroll in anything that involves it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are mushroom courses legal to take?

Yes. Learning about mushrooms, including psilocybin science, harm reduction and facilitation, is legal. What you can do with that knowledge depends on where you live. Psilocybin is still illegal under US federal law, while Oregon and Colorado regulate licensed facilitators. Read our mushroom legalization guide for the current picture.

Do I need a license to be a psilocybin facilitator?

Only where a state runs a regulated program, such as Oregon and Colorado. There, facilitators complete a state-approved training and then get licensed. Taking a course on this page does not license you by itself, so check the provider's approval status and your state's rules before you enroll.

What is the difference between cohort-based and on-demand courses?

Cohort-based courses start on a set date, run on a schedule and often have limited seats. On-demand courses are always available, so you can start when you are ready and learn at your own pace.

How do I know if a course is virtual or in person?

Every course card carries a tag: Virtual, In person with the city, or Hybrid for a mix of both. Use the Location filter at the top of the page to narrow the list.
