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."

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!
