Join us for a mouthwatering journey with friends across the world and learn about Mushroom Gastronomy! This online event, host by the Szeged Fungus Association, offers a deep dive into the fascinating science and culinary art of fungi. More than just a meal, mushrooms are key players in our ecosystems—recycling nutrients, supporting plant life, and connecting us to nature in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

In this unique lecture, we’ll explore fungi in all their forms, from their intricate taxonomy and ecology to their environmental needs and conservation. We’ll also discover how to pick, clean, and prepare these delicacies with respect and care. Expect hands-on demonstrations in selecting and preparing different mushrooms, flavor-enhancing techniques, and recipes that bring out the incredible textures and tastes of fungi.

Whether you're a mycology enthusiast or simply a lover of fine food, come learn, taste, and get inspired to see mushrooms in a whole new way!
