One of New York Mycological Society's very own members, Katy Wang (katywangstudio.com) has some of their original art work featured in the fifth New York Botanical Garden triennial, which starts on May 18th and runs up and through October 27th.
Jessica Reisch’s Fruiting Bodies utilizes the familiar mushroom as a window into exploring the vast and largely invisible networked relationships in the natural world. Shengnan Dong and Michael Dondero’s Nostril looks at the things people put up with for love, highlighting relationship struggles with a light-hearted tone. Yinjie Liu, Yi Yao and Yuqi Gong present Heartbeats, a 3D-animated short film about a young boy named August whose dreams of being a cool drummer shift as he grows older.
She would love to pass along an invitation to the reception this Monday 6/10 6-8pm to other members, many of whom she has to thank (in addition to programming like the Myco Film Fest!) for inspiring and supporting this project.
Tarun Nayar / Modern Biology is a ‘mushroom musician’ who creates soundscapes from the bioelectric changes in plants and mushrooms. He’s invited some of his favorite mycologists, ecologists, poets and musicians to celebrate the plant and fungal kingdoms and inspire hope and resilience.
Expect a short scientific talk, poetry and musical performances, culminating in a live plant and mushroom music experience by Modern Biology in which listeners are encouraged to ‘try on’ plant and fungal consciousness, and expand their awareness to these more-than-human worlds.

Our Cultural program cultivates a dialogue between mycology and the arts, with many of our members in both worlds. Our new cultural initiatives include a Myco Book Club, pop-up cultural excursions and film screenings, our inaugural Myco Film Festival, and exhibitions on mycological art. Our programming foregrounds diversity, aims to promote artists within our membership as well as mycological programming in partnership with local arts and culture organizations — from grass-roots groups to established institutions. If you are a mycologically-focused artist in any medium, or would like to partner with NYMS for a cultural event, please reach out to Maya
