Class
FungiFest 2010
January 15–January 24
Machine Project, 1200D North Alvarado, Los Angeles, California
Machine Project will be consumed by fungi and molds. There will be workshops on wild mushroom collecting, a screening of mushroom-themed Japanese horror films, mushroom flavored frozen yogurt, a foray in the woods to collect specimens, slime mold racing, mushroom growing and cooking classes and much much more. Everyone who wants to get involved is encouraged to bring in specimens throughout the week, whether you find them growing in your yard, behind your toilet or in the woods. Our resident mushroom and mold expert, Bob Cummings of Santa Barbara City College, will be on hand to drop knowledge and guide us in identification. We also plan to create a book, cataloguing the various mushrooms we find throughout the week.
