Event Description

Celebrated, coveted, feared, misunderstood; the relationship between mankind and fungi is as complex as it is ancient. As we unravel their mysteries, mushrooms can teach us about both ourselves and the ecosystems around us. The Mycopolitan Mushroom Company will explore the role of fungi in the forest and on the farm, offering tastings of the unique flavors and textures of the forest, and providing a look at native fungi in their habitat.

Participants will take home living mycelium to grow mushrooms.

Special member price: $25
