MycoRising: A Mycological Day of Regenerative Action


Friday, October 11, 2019 at 2 PM – 7 PM

PLACE for Sustainable Living
1121 64th Street,
Oakland, California


Mushrooms are rising, and so are we! In this time of turbulent changes in our global climate, consciousness, and beyond, the moment is ripe for the Mycelium to rise!

We will gather at PLACE for sustainable living in Oakland, California, for a mycological day of Regenerative Action, music, potluck, and celebration.

This date was chosen to rise right after the film screening of Fantastic Fungi with Paul Stamets and Louie Schwarzberg in San Francisco, and right before a concert with Rising Appalachia in Berkeley, followed by their Permaculture Action Day in Paradise, California. It will be a full weekend of regeneration.

MycoRising is an immersive experience of mycological education and hands-on action. At this action, we will be inoculating logs with mushroom spores. The type of mushroom will depend on the donations we have access to! We will also learn how to help remediate environmental toxins and turn them into medicine, which we will put into action at a future event.

We will be learning about all the amazing benefits of mushrooms and mycelium, getting our hands myceliated with actual mycoremediation projects, dancing to amazing music, and having a fun time with fungi!

With increasing research and practice proving the healing and regenerative capabilities of our fungi friends, on both individual and global levels, the legitimacy of the potency of mushrooms is on the rise! However, the missing key ingredient in this Solutionary alchemy of planetary remediation, is the hands-on action.

At MycoRising, we will gather to dance, sing, connect, learn, eat, and have fun filling our hands with fungi! With expert mycologists leading the activities, groovy heart-expanding music to gyrate our bodies to, and an amazing mycelial community to connect with, we are certainly set to have the best time of our lives so far, while helping to restore the mycosphere and help heal the planet!

Please RSVP so we know how much material to prepare, and how many fun guy’s and girls will be joining the action! And please spread the word to help us expand the mycelial network of movers, shakers, and mycological change-makers!

MycoRising will also include:
* Ecstatic Dance sets from DJ Fllow (Alexis Fllow Leiva) and Audionai (Adionai Beth)
* Hands-on spore inoculating action, myco-education workshop, & presentation/discussion with Seth Warner on magic mushrooms, decriminalization, and safe practices.
* Open mic for song and story sharing.
* Potluck dinner! Bring lots of food to share! We encourage dishes with mushrooms, like a soup! MyceliYummmm!
