Join our friends from the Bexar County Master Gardeners for a talk to learn the basics of mycology and how fungi is entangled in all parts of our life. She will cover some basics on mycology, how fungi benefits our entire ecosystem, plants and our health .
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
I grew up in Missouri with ten siblings, and the first mushroom I ever learned was—fittingly—the Destroying Angel. It was my introduction to how powerful and mysterious fungi can be.
Before CTMS, I worked as an experience designer and animator in the tech world—but eventually, I left that world to plug into a very different kind of network: the earth’s internet—mycelium. Now I’m a forager, urban gardener, and mycology educator.
Through CTMS, I get to share my passion for the ecosystems of Central Texas and help people connect to the fungal kingdom in ways that are joyful, practical, and community-powered. Whether we’re growing mushrooms from recycled blocks or helping trees survive drought through mycorrhizal fungi—we’re building soil and solidarity.
