MUSHROOM LUNCH & TALK
Café Champignon: Lunch, Talk & Conversation
Following in the French tradition of Café Philosophique, Café Champignon brings the curiosities of the Kingdom Fungi into active conversation.
While enjoying a fabulous fungus-inspired lunch Alison will introduce us to the wonders of the Kingdom Fungi. She’ll share her experiences across hemispheres in pursuit of fungi and their followers.
We will also launch Alison’s new book, which is both about fungi, and the photography of fungi. The title – Funga Obscura – unites the two.
Through her stories we’ll cross continents and ecosystems, navigate lichen-covered landscapes, crawl in the fungal undergrowth, scale glacial extremes and duck between rainforest shadows.
You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase signed copies of Alison’s books, The Allure of Fungi, Wild Mushrooming, Underground Lovers and Funga Obscura.
This event if part of the Strathbogie Festival of Fungi. You might like to catch some video highlights from the last festival at this link. 2025 promises to be an equally magical festival. See you there!
