🍄 Welcome to LOM Free LOM Free is a community space for connection, curiosity, learning, and shared appreciation of fungi — whether your interest is , scientific, practical, symbolic, or simply wonder-based. Before jumping in, we recommend starting with the first class in the Classroom. That lesson will walk you through: - 🌱 How this community is structured - 🍄 Where to find resources and discussions - ✨ How onboarding works - 🔓 How to upgrade or explore additional offerings - 🧭 What kind of engagement thrives best here Think of it as your orientation trailhead — everything flows more easily once you’ve been there. 👉 Start here: Classroom →First class After that, feel free to: - Introduce yourself if you’d like - Jump into discussions that call to you - Lurk quietly (that’s welcome too) This space is meant to be warm, thoughtful, and human. We’re happy you found your way here 🌿🍄
