For the Love of Fungi: Mushroom and Arts Festival

On July 27, mid-Summer & full-on foraging season, we are hosting the 3rd annual: For the Love of Fungi Mushroom & Arts Festival!! Just a few words here to describe the format for this year… The morning will begin with group forays onsite and at near by woodland locations, guided by knowledgeable Mycologists. Early afternoon, we will all meet back at the main festival site (the Ashokan Center) with specimens and stories, to embark on a full sensory exploration. Discover new sounds, textures, flavors and more through different workshops and activities that focus on the many ways we use our senses to perceive the natural world. Brush up on your ID skills, learn to tissue culture, illustrate, or listen to the song of your favorite fungi! Cooking demos and tastings all day long. After sunset we will gather for a bonfire, short film series, music, and UV Foray, with camping and lodging options onsite! This is an all ages event, we have two children focused activities already confirmed as well as interactive exhibits for them to explore their senses.
