Howdy Fungi Fam! We have received numerous inquiries about when our next event will be, so we wanted to remind everyone that we don't have anything planned for this year. We are taking a Gap Year, to focus on finishing major farm projects and laying the groundwork for bigger and better things to come.

In cooperation with Touch of Nature Outdoor Education Center , we will be bringing a bigger, better, annual Fungi/Mushroom Fest to Southern IL! We plan to build on our previous events by adding lots of free family activities. That way, if paid workshops, classes, etc isn't quite your thing, you can still bring the family out for some fun and education!

In the meantime, we will continue to share events in the region that we think you'll like so stay tuned, keep calm, and mushroom on!

✌️❤️🍄
