We are so excited to announce that the New Moon Mycology Summit is back this year after a long break since 2019. Since we were part of the organizing team the first 2 years, we are biased, but it is seriously such a beautiful & hopeful space to learn, process, deconstruct, grow and make new connections. Join us August 9-13, 2023 in Wheelock, VT on occupied Abenaki & Wabanaki territory.

Like the previous years, the NMMS is a sliding scale and donation based event where no one is turned away for lack of funds. All meals and camping is included in the cost to attend.

A final day touching base in the village, with beautiful humans, dogs, and cats! In Greece, even the cats appreciate mushrooms 🥰 We met the crew in Thessaloniki, then headed straight to Grevena, the city of mushrooms! This beautiful mountain town was made brighter by our friend Φώτης (Fotis), who showed us around , including an impromptu tour of the factory where all the local μανιτάριπροϊντα Γρεβενών (mushroom products of Grevena) are made! capped the day with an incredible mushroom-centric feast, then we scooted on to Ionnana and for a relaxing night. Now on to Lefkada!

Who wants to travel to Greece and learn about Greek culture, food and mushrooms?

Join us October 13-23, 2022 for 11 days, 10 nights.

We usually stay pretty local, but this is a chance to appreciate an influential and mycophilic culture that we couldn't miss! This trip is led by our friend Olga Tzogas, and we cannot wait for the amazing home cooked flavors, exciting views and plethora of fungi. This will be our second time helping tour her home country with Olga, who has thoughtfully put together an itinerary based on places and relationships she’s cultivated over the years. Some of our favorite times from the last trip were:

-soaking in the sun on beautiful beaches,
-gathering ripe pomegranates,
-grilling wild-foraged mushrooms over an open fire (with olive oil, salt, and lemon juice, yum!),
-hiking in the stunning mountains of Tzoumerka,
-finding many rare and unusual mushrooms,
-listening to beautiful traditional music.

There are only a few spots left so check it out soon
