DESCRIPTION:Next Meeting: Mushrooms + Culture of Greece with Olga Tzogas \nTuesday\, March 11th \nOlga Tzogas started her love affair with Fungi and plants over 15 years ago\, with the help and guidance of family\, teachers and community. In 2011\, Smugtown Mushrooms was started\, which provides cultivation supplies to grow mushrooms\, indoors or outdoors\, for food or for medicine. Olga has taught hundreds of folks how to grow mushrooms\, make medicine and learn about the glory of Fungi and the natural world. Alongside the collaboration of the collective\, The Mycelium Underground\, Olga helped create the New Moon Mycology Summit in 2018. She was a core organizer for the 2016 Radical Mycology Convergence and the MycoSymbiotics Festival from 2015-17. Annually\, Olga returns to her ancestral homeland to guide small groups immersed in land based and traditional knowledge of the country of Greece\, highlighting the fungi and plants there. \nMushrooms + Culture of Greece \nMarch 11th\, 7pm @ Floral Hall (5251 Oak st.) \nExperience and take a visual journey into the diverse and lush natural world of Greece.
