MEET TUG DELUCE
Tug De Luce was a longtime friend of the Philadelphia Mycology Club. He was among the most outwardly joyful and unabashedly authentic people to be around.
Tug was also a talented artist. He used his talents to depict the things he loved in life such as nature, mushrooms, friends, and of course, gnomes. His passions for art and mycology were inspiring to so many in the Philadelphia Mycology Club and Mycofest communities.
Applications for The Tug De Luce Memorial Scholarship coming in 2026. Donate to the Tug de Luce scholarship fund.
