AUSTIN: Orchid Mycology Walk
Join us for a guided nature walk to observe the Glass Mountain Crested Coralroot (Bletia nitida)—a threatened, mycoheterotrophic orchid that obtains nutrients through fungal parasitism rather than photosynthesis. We will also see our state mushroom Devil’s Cigar or Chorioactis geaster which is also fruiting after the recent rains! We will be collecting it for further research.

Our mission is to strengthen the conservation, research, and study of Fungi in Central Texas
We are a member-supported, volunteer-run group of united Central Texans dedicated to working with fungi. Fungi are foundational species for nearly all terrestrial life on Earth—critical links between the health, stability, and abundance of the soil, plants, and fresh water on which human and animal life depends. The Central Texas Mycological Society is committed to bringing forth the recognition of mycology and the Fungal Kingdom as a beneficial ally in the effort to restore and sustain the resilience of the natural world.
SporeCorps is our indoor cultivation and community lab program — a hands-on space for curious minds to explore the science, art, and discipline of growing fungi. SporeCorps teaches indoor STEM methods in a supportive, futuristic, DIY-lab environment. Join us both online and in-person in labs in Austin and San Antonio. Contact us if you want us to teach a class.
