I attended this event last night and let me be the first to say that I am thrilled to have Mycelium here in Asheville. Ashely Cooper and Matthew Abrams are both incredibly gifted visionaries and their educational model is refreshingly dynamic and well-considered in its scale and scope.

No, they are not ‘accredited’, at least to my knowledge, but that is, in large part, because this is a pioneering model without close parallel or precedent. Please, if you are at all curious about Mycelium (as, I would argue, you should be) investigate their website further. For starters, you can roll through their list of visiting instructors (http://mycelium.is/visiting-instructors/) to gain an idea of the caliber of talent they’re drawing to our little mountain town.

I am of the opinion that we are incredibly lucky to have Mycelium here in Asheville, though it speaks to some of the better qualities of the area and its people that they consciously chose to locate here. It reads as an auspicious sign that Asheville has been doing some things right to distinguish itself as a place for disruptive economic/educational models to find their footing 😀

Is this educational institution accredited by any recognized agency?
