Hello Mycophiles!
Hopeful days of rain here in San Diego! YES!
Join us Monday November 1st, for a riveting night. First, we will hold our annual Myco Board elections. We need your help. Interested in being part of the Board? We have open positions that need to be filled so we can create a year of mushroom related events for our community! We welcome all those individuals excited about growing our local Mycelial network. Our board meets the third Monday of every month, most meetings are currently held via zoom.
After that, we will be welcoming Aviva Borenstein, our November monthly speaker, sharing her adventures of mushroom and art. Come listen to Aviva as she takes us on her journey of creating and selling mushroom art, including work with mushroom leather! Yes, like Paul Stamets’ famous hat. She will also talk about what it was like working at different mushroom farms. You may have even met her as one of our vendors at our Fungus Fair 2020.
MORE ABOUT ELECTIONS:
SDMYCO is a non-profit group whose purpose is to foster and expand the understanding and appreciation of mycology (that is the study of mushrooms and fungi).
We are looking for Fungi Fanatics to Join the Team! Become a SDMYCO Board Member. Elections will take place during our November 1st, Monday Monthly Mushroom Meeting.
We are an all-volunteer club, and have a number of current openings for board positions. If you would like to get involved WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU. You do not need experience in mycology or mushrooms, just a desire to participate with a great group of engaging people. If this is you, please reach out by filling the application form, and let’s have a conversation. I look forward to hearing from you.
I would like to take a moment to thank all past board members for their hard work in helping SDMYCO thrive through these past 20+ years.
