Mycelium Mysteries, the Women’s Mushroom Conference, will be held September 20 through 22 in Almond, Wisconsin. Now celebrating its eighth year, this immersive weekend will offer unique learning opportunities in an encouraging and nourishing atmosphere at Camp Helen Brachman, where participants can explore 200 acres of wooded land on mushroom and plant walks.

Hosted by the Midwest Women’s Herbal Conference, the event will feature workshops and forays led by mushroom experts, allowing attendees to identify mushrooms in the field, explore an identification table and learn about mushrooms’ healing and nutritional benefits, art applications and roles in conservation.

Keynote speakers include environmental investigator Eugenia Bone, who will discuss her forthcoming book, Have a Good Trip, and mycophile Rose Tursi, who will highlight the contributions of women in early mycology. “This event transforms your understanding of fungi,” says Tursi. “Once you attend, the world of fungi will never look the same.”
