We will be joining our friends from the Austin Founders Lions Club for a fascinating dive into the world of fungi! Discover how these incredible organisms shape our planet, cycling through mass extinctions to create the breathable, livable world we know today. From their hidden networks beneath our feet to their role in protecting ecosystems, fungi are entangled in every part of life. Come learn the basics of mycology and how you can harness the power of fungi to help safeguard our environment!

I will be bringing mushroom grow blocks to upcycle for everyone in attendance. Learn how to use them here.
