The rains have come, the wheel of the year has turned, and now its time to make your move if you plan to be part of the fungus fun at the 6th Annual Cumberland Fungus Fest coming up October 2-5. Our Fungus Fest Weekend Passes are now 75% sold (wow)! We are so excited about this interdisciplinary celebration of fungus and forest ecology.
In addition to some heavy hitters from the fields of forest ecology and mycology, we are stretching our edges and diving deeper into eco-arts practice, themes and trends around death and dying, green burial, and use of psilocybin in wellness, therapy and end of life care. It’s going to be a rich offering!
