MycoFest returns August 4th-6th with its 9th annual mushroom and arts festival and we will be joining in the showcasing the beauty of nature, with an educational focus on mycology and DNA barcoding.

Join us for an immersive weekend, 3 days full of educational workshops, guided forays, artistic experiences and sessions, cooking demonstrations, and more. Angel Schatz from CTMS will be presenting on Art, Alchemy, Mushrooms, Religion, and the War on Nature.

Since 2015, MycoFest has brought the Mushroom & Arts Festival we so well know and love to the East coast, choosing a different geographical location each year as our host and diverse background.

This year, MycoFest will be hosted on RhoneyMeade Arboretum & Sculpture Garden in Centre Hall, PA, just minutes outside of State College, PA.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2022

ABOUT ANGEL’S TALK

What do Mario Bros, Banksy, and Alice in Wonderland have in common? Very mush! Angel Schatz from Central Texas Mycological Society will explore art, religion, alchemy and how mushrooms were first used and then removed in western culture leading eventually to the war on drugs which is really a war on nature, a tool implemented by the ruling class to maintain power and suppress others. She'll explain how the spiritual was replaced with the material and the collective consciousness was replaced with individualism and how art as a commodity grew out of this paradigm.
