Mushrooms are delicious, mysterious, and ecologically vital—but how do we forage in ways that keep both people and fungi safe? And how do we find the ones we can actually eat? In this workshop, participants will learn the core skills of safe mushroom foraging, identification, and fungal ecology. We’ll begin with an introductory presentation on mushrooming essentials, then search for fungi before gathering again to identify and discuss our finds. Guided by Maya, participants will deepen their connection to the natural world through the fungal realm. Together, we’ll explore how mushroom identification can strengthen both personal and community resilience—whether through food, medicine, or stewardship. Maya will also share regenerative practices to guide our choices about what, when, where, and how to forage, ensuring that mushroom habitats thrive for generations to come.

Fungi are everywhere, acting as agents of multi-dimensional transformation. You don’t have to go out into the forest to find fungi, they are in our bodies, spores are in the air, they are a part of the food we eat. They are so intrinsic to our existence that many don’t even notice them, but people all over the world have been co-evolving with Fungi for millennia. When we connect with these symbiotic processes consciously and build skill around developing these relationships, including within our own ancestry, we unlock the potential for larger scale multi-dimensional transformation on social, cultural, psychological and ecological levels.
