Todays Confirmed Presenter & Topic Release! Doğa Tekin @vanillattry The presenters being featured right here will be teaching during the WEEKEND portion of the New Moon Mycology Summit! August 10-12th! Schedule out soon! REGISTER FOR THE WEEKEND its SLIDING SCALE ! We're excited to offer a wide array of topics! The more we give you folks these updates the more excited were getting, knowing that all of us will be sharing space together in a little OVER A MONTH! Check out what Doğa Tekin is offering and sharing during the Summit!! Getting to Know Your Mushrooms: Close-observational Drawing in the Field This will be a series of workshops that develops our close-observational skills as a useful tool for mushroom identification and documentation. We will start off with a talk about what to look for when foraging, and give an overview of basic foraging rules of thumb, followed by a mini foray to gather some fungal friends. Then we will practice guided close-observational drawing of our collections, and identify them using guides and through sharing our knowledge. Later, we will go on a more extended foray and practice close-observational drawing in the field (in the forest). The series will create an opportunity to build close relationships with the mushrooms that we will be interacting with, along with developing useful tools to engage with everything in our surroundings and to turn our mushroom radars on. +For kids & families!! Creation Station: Fungi for Kids This would be an art and creation station that is fluid and collaborative for the kids (and adults if they would like) at the event to hang out and integrate their experiences through creative expression. There will be a variety of kid-friendly art supplies, a large paper scroll (or a few of them), and an interactive set-up that inspires creation. There will also be informative posters that make the scientific world of fungi more accessible to children. We can think about it as an interactive and informative creative space. #newmoonmycologysummit #mycology #mycoremediation #fungi #mycelium #autonomousmycology #radicalmycology #makemushroomsnotwar #mycoremediation #permaculture #newyork #hudson

For those who know me, I pretty much just want to swim allllll summer and pick wild mushrooms in between. I’d even swim here!!

Today we showcase another presenter who is joining the 40 other educators who are sharing their knowledge and skill set We are pumped to welcome John Michelotti from Catskill Fungi! John teaches us about Medicinal Mushrooms this Friday morning in August 10! Medicinal Mushrooms-Friday 1030-1230pm Class description: People have been utilizing mushrooms for their health properties for thousands of years and recently they have been attracting attention. This workshop will cover the history of using mushrooms for human health, how we can be healthy by incorporating mushrooms into our lives, where the science is and is not with medicinal mushrooms, as well as how-to prepare tinctures and extracts. Each participant will go home with their own-made chaga tincture. John Michelotti is the owner of Catskill Fungi whose mission is to empower people with Fungi though outdoor educational mushroom classes, cultivation courses, private consultations, mushroom art, and mushroom health tinctures which he produces from mushrooms he grows on his family farm in the Catskill Mountains. John is the President of the Mid-Hudson Mycological Association (MHMA) and he served on the Mushroom Advisory Panel for Certified Naturally Grown to develop ecological standards in mushroom production. His goal is to educate and inspire people to pair with fungi to improve health, environment and communities. http://catskillfungi.com Join us in less than a week at the New Moon Mycology Summit! PLEASE PRE-register! Why pre-register? It’s simple. We love to get head counts for kitchen staff to prepare the meals we will be nourished by all weekend. To prepare the land accordingly. To know who needs certain accessibility. To know allergies, dietary restrictions and other healthcare needs. We are your hosts and we want to make this the best weekend it can possibly be. Heck, it helps to know how much toilet paper we gotta buy too! So YES it’s really helpful to know how many people to expect. So please if you can pre-register for the weekend 😉 #newmoonmycologysummit #mycology #fungi #mycorrhizae #makemushroomsnotwar #mycelium #socalled #newyork #hudsonvalley #herbalism #reishi (at White Pine Community Farm)

Wine Caps are stilll fruiting!! With our more chillier and extended Spring into Summer we’ve had some extended harvests of our #strophariarugosoannulata This will keep fruiting if it stays raining and cooler but otherwise it will take a break during the hot summer days and wait for the cool weather of late Summer into Fall. We get asked, “will anything eat these in my yard?” and we always say... “Slugs and Bugs!” Every time Wine Caps fruit in my yard, I fall in love with them again. First of all, look at those gills!! Purple!! Second, they vary so much dependent on weather. Like the second photo we have a severely sun bleached one, practically white, while ones less that a foot away in a more shaded spot have that true, burgundy cap color. That’s why it’s so hard to properly identify mushrooms. It takes time to really learn how these mushrooms and fungi morph due to their environment and what kind of weather we are having. But I’ll say this once and again, WINE CAP IS THE EASIEST MUSHROOM TO GROW! If you want to still, we got spawn, head to the website or #Etsy shoppe Enjoy the day! #smugtownmushrooms #mycology #fungi #winecaps #mycelium #spores #permaculture #soilmatters #makemushroomsnotwar #myceliatethestate #love #rebar #youreaslug #shrooms #gills #diy #organicgardening #mollusca (at 19th Ward, Rochester)

Grow Turkey Tail during these Spring months! They love the wet cool weather and you’ll get a head start before these really start popping later in the year outdoors! I love this medicinal! Cooling and dispelling dampness. Fever reducer, anti-inflammatory, immune-modulator and overall super amazing healing organism that we can grow and use right in or out of our home. Spent blocks can be then brought outside to terra-form gardens, put in compost, hugelkultur, terraces and more. Plus the tea tastes amazing and isn’t as bitter as the classic #reishi which is indeed an amazing mushroom but does have a bitterness some folks can’t deal with. These are on our website!

There’s nothing like some freshly fruited Shiitake Mushrooms!! These are so fresh that even the stalks can be eaten along with the cap! Most of the time they’re too fibrous and need to be dried for stocks and broths. We love these mushrooms not just for food but also for incredible nutritional values and a wide array of medicinal varieties. Shiitake has been used for immune modulation, they have strong anti-viral properties and anti inflammatory effects and more. We still have these on sale through our website and can’t wait to get them to you through the mail and on your dinner plate! Grow your own food, support small businesses, like us and keeping fighting for a better and just world.
