Fantastic Fungi: Movie & Literature Review

Kick off our fungi education series with a free screening of the award-winning documentary Fantastic Fungi! After the movie, we'll gather for a casual discussion about mushroom books, field guides, and other resources to help you continue exploring the fascinating world of fungi. Whether you're completely new to mycology or already an avid mushroom enthusiast, you'll discover new ways to connect with this hidden kingdom. Bring a favorite snack to share and enjoy an evening of learning, conversation, and community.
