AUTUMN 2024 MUSHROOM FORAYS & EVENTS
I’m thrilled to accept a position as Volkswagen Foundation Visiting Professor at the Rachel Carson Centre for Environment and Society at the Ludgwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. And no, I won’t be looking at cars, rather the VW Foundation provided money to look at mushrooms! I’ll also be developing a series of workshops and masterclasses on visualising the environment. But I’ll be back for the 2025 Australian autumn and there’s a full schedule of mushroom forays, workshops and events planned which will be posted here in summer 2025.
I’m delighted to have been invited to the the Telluride Mushroom Festival in Colorado this August and will be giving various talks, workshops, forays and other events. I look forward to seeing you there!
The 2024 Australian autumn mushroom season workshops and events have concluded for the season but if you happen to be in the northern hemisphere, check out the schedule of events here.
