AUTUMN 2025 MUSHROOM FORAYS & EVENTS

There’s an exciting array of forays, workshops, talks and masterclasses on offer across Victoria, NSW, ACT and Tasmania. I hope you can join us at one of the events to discover all things fungi.
MUSHROOMS IN MUNICH
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. You might like to view a recent talk, The Dark Web, HERE.
2024 USA FUNGUS EVENTS
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!
