    • Pokong Dinner RSVP required

      Hello VMS and happy new year! I am pleased to announce that the annual Po Kong dinner will take place in lieu of our in-person meeting this month on Tuesday, January 13th at 6:30.   The Po Kong dinner is a yearly tradition where members are able to sample many varieties of mushrooms in a communal setting. Po Kong's menu is fully vegetarian and features many fungi, including stinkhorn, lion's mane, enoki, wood ear, and more.   How it works: Each person orders 1 mushroom dish and all the food is shared family style. After the meal, the bill is divided among your tablemates (usually 10). The individual bill averages $30-40 after gratuities, not including beverages. Cash is preferred to reduce our queue for a card reader.     Before filling out the form, please take a look at the main menu here: https://www.pokongvegetarian.ca/menu (bamboo pith = stinkhorn, monkey head = lion's mane, ling chi = reishi)   To streamline the process for the kitchen, please tell us in the form which dish you would like to order and 1 backup just in case there's many of the same request at your table (ex. C30, E6). If you'd like the lion's mane/hericium on veggies dish (off menu) please indicate in […]

    • February 10th Meeting: Member’s Night

      Hello myco people! I’m excited to announce our first Floral Hall meeting of the year, featuring the return of member’s night, and to share details about a special mushroom presentation from the folks at Nature Vancouver.  Member’s Night: As per tradition, member's night is a chance for members of the VMS to put on short presentations on different fungal topics. We have so many amazing experiences and perspectives within the Vancouver fungal community and we love to showcase what people have been up to. Some speakers may choose to talk about academic work, regional species, cooking, or photography to name just a few examples!  We would love to hear from you on what has caught your interest in mycology from the past 2 months.. or 2 years! Please email president@vanmyco.com to sign up or for more information. While it may not be peak mushroom season, we’d still love to see any specimens you bring to our monthly mushroom table for identification and admiration. Love the talk? Your VMS membership allows you to access an archive of several past talks on our website for your marathoning pleasure. As always, masks are encouraged in indoor spaces and for all in-person events! VMS is still hybrid […]
