Philadelphia Mycology Club 5 Year Birthday Bash

August 12, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Join us as we celebrate 5 years of existing!

Come one, come all! As we celebrate 5 years of the Philadelphia Mycology Club! To thank all our wonderful members we’re hosting an afternoon of FUNgi filled family friendly events. We’ll start the day with a guided mushroom walk through Philadelphia’s finest woodlands. Following our walk we’ll regroup for some potluck style festivities! There will be crafts, music, games, and good company as we celebrate this new age of PMC. Exclusive merch for the event will be available as well as our classic lineup of shirts, stickers, and pins. Speaking of pins, we’ll be bringing our button maker and materials for folks to get crafty with! Feel free to bring any mushrooms you’d like us to help ID as well.

You may want to bring outdoor chairs or a blanket for additional seating. We will provide plates, bowls, and plasticware but please consider bringing your own plastic dishes to use for sustainability!

IF YOU ARE BRINGING A DISH to share please make a list of all the ingredients used, to be displayed on the table. We will provide index cards if you need them. If your dish contains wild mushrooms that you foraged, please make sure that you had them identified by other mycologists, and preferably retain pictures of the mushroom you cooked (in your phone, etc).

**This event is free and open to everyone. The PMC is funded entirely through donations. If you are able, please consider giving an amount of your choice at checkout**

Please dress accordingly for the walk as this is a rain or shine event and be mindful of ticks and poison ivy. An ADA Accessible trail is located on the property. Children are encouraged to attend. Unfortunately dogs are not permitted on the property, so please leave your pups at home.

By registering for this event you grant the Philadelphia Mycology Club to use photographs and/or video of you taken at the event in publications, online, and in other communications related to the Philadelphia Mycology Club.
