Thank you for joining our 2nd NYMS Holiday Party, Tues. 12/10/2024!
Thanks to the 50 members who braved the rain and ventured out to the wilds of Ridgewood on 12/10/2024 to create a festive and convivial evening. We raised a toast to fungi and fermentation and indulged in delicious mushroom dishes. Nineteen folks exchanged fun mushroomy Secret Santa / Siberian Shaman surprises. Ten lucky raffle winners took home bottles of Irina Adam's Phoenix Botanicals new Black Trumpet Mushroom perfume (partnered with Scott Bluedorn's art). Cheers to all our beloved members for making 2024 such a wonderful year of mycological discovery, cultural collaborations, and community building!
February Myco Book Club: Simard’s Finding the Mother Tree
Our February reading will be of Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard. Many of you have read it, some of you have not, but we've yet to discuss it in our book club so the time is ripe to revisit this now somewhat controversial "classic."

Culture information
NYMS statement about culture
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
