Free with RSVP
To celebrate the New York State Museum’s groundbreaking exhibition on the pioneering mycologist Mary Elizabeth Banning, you are invited to an hour-long cinematic journey through the overlooked and underground worlds of mycology. This film foray features a selection of short films that spotlight lesser-known voices and visionary perspectives in fungal science and culture. From the poetic to the peculiar, each film uncovers the hidden figures who’ve shaped—and are reshaping—how we see the mushrooming world around (and beneath) us.
Don’t miss this special screening inspired by the legacy of Mary Banning and the NYSM’s new exhibition Outcasts: Mary Banning’s World of Mushrooms! Check out the other free exhibits at this fantastic, historic museum while you’re there — the oldest and largest state museum in the US! NYSM is accessible from NYC via bus and Amtrak (Albany-Rensselaer station).
