8th Annual
Mycelium Mysteries
Women's Mushroom Conference
September 20, 21 & 22, 2024 | Almond, WI
Celebrating 8 Years of Sisterhood, Plants & Funga
Mushrooms: The Grandmothers of Our Ecosystems
This weekend-long women's mushroom conference will focus on understanding fungi as the Grandmothers of our ecosystems. Silently shaping the soil beneath our feet, fungi are key players in Earth's health and the trajectory of human culture around the globe. Still, we find ourselves in a time where the study of fungi is considered to be a neglected megascience, their mycelium, a mystery. It is our goal to help modern women connect with the roles and wisdom of our female ancestors who always maintained and shared their visceral understanding of the Fungal Queendom.
Mycelium Mysteries is a conference focused on nature and ecology. We offer workshops and forays (walks), throughout the weekend to educate and connect women to the unique role that mushrooms play in the environment.
