This year’s festival theme will be “RECONNECTING.” Festival Director, Dr. Britt Bunyard, says that “After a year like 2020, all of us from the myco-community and beyond … we all need to reconnect!” Topics will range from wild and cultivated culinary and medicinal mushrooms; chemistry and clinical use of psychedelic mushrooms; ethnomycology, mycoremediation, and living sustainably with mushrooms; plus, lots of basics for beginners.
