About Matthew - your mycology expert:
Matthew grew up foraging and hiking, even eating oysters and chicken of the woods while hiking the Appalachian Trail, but it wasn’t until COVID struck that his endless work and schooling turned into an endless love for mycology. It started with finding as many unique species as possible and getting to the top 25 observers of fungi in the world on iNaturalist. Further, the passion developed into DNA sequence validating for OMDL and FUNDIS, volunteering at festivals, being invited to forays, and helping write journal articles.
About Anna:
Anna, a multidimensional energy force, wants to share her enthusiasm for art and nature with you. As an artist, educator, and mushroom enthusiast, she weaves creativity and her organizing magic into unforgettable experiences.
After 10 years of traveling around the world and bringing together art, mycology, and decades of experience in education, she designs playful, interactive journeys for others to embrace the intricacy of fungi and art.
