Fungi Kinship Zine Workshop was a delight!

We had some great conversations about why is there so much mycophobia in books to why do some fungi grow completely differently in the wild vs. cultivation or how can we connect with fungi without wanting to eat them?

The library did a great job of providing us art and fungi reference books, and we brought a few of our own books plus zines! We did stretches to take us through the lifecycle of a fungus, a meditation on our daily lives work fungi, and got to make zines with collage materials from outdated resource books and nature magazines.

You can find the zines we pulled for the workshop here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/zineWorkshop

A zine that features colorful cut outs of fungi that use paper printed with the texture that fungi would grow on

A drawing of a mushroom cluster has been cut and pasted on the top of the zine. Over it the words "fungal kinship" have been written.

Some more moss pictures from today.

I'm starting to build an eye for it, looking out for mosses as I cycle the city. It's a bit like trying to find mushrooms in a forest. I do wish I could add the names of the mosses and lichens in the description though.

looking along a rope overgrown with moss along a tree, this macro shot looks like a lush green forest with plants growing over the rope like it's wooden tree trunks.

Blue-white and yellow, cup shaped lichen, crowing on a tree stem. Very close up, the photo covers maybe 1cm. It looks like a rough and alien landscape.

Close-up of a seedpod of a moss. A mosspit if you like.

Star moss looking like a massive succulent or aloe plant among even smaller moss as this crowing among the brick work on a bridge.

I walked by this log two mornings in a row, on the second there were mushrooms that weren’t there on the first.

“And in the morning, without my hearing it, there might be a mushroom that was not there the night before, creamy white, pushed up from the pine needle duff, out of darkness to light, still glistening with the fluid of its passage. Puhpowee.”

—Robin Wall Kimmerer in Braiding Sweetgrass

A cluster of seven mushrooms, still glistening with moisture, growing out of the top of a rotting log in the woods.

I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly fungus

(Anyone have a positive id for these?)

Some kind of jelly fungus growing on a hardwood tree. It’s brownish and wrinkled, soft and jelly-like to the touch.

Uno de los aspectos más bellos de los líquenes es que desafían la noción de *individuo* y, en su naturaleza simbionte —ni del todo hongos ni del todo algas—, nos invitan a disolver límites y a mirarnos también como seres múltiples, en constante comunicación con los demás y el entorno

Primer plano de líquenes en forma de copa creciendo sobre la superficie de un tronco. La imagen muestra los pequeños detalles de su textura y estructura, con un fondo borroso en tonalidades verdes y cafés que resalta la textura y detalles de los líquenes.

photo of a whole bunch of tiny mushrooms growing on the bark of a dead, but still standing tree; most of them are small, cream-colored, gilled fungi with some more orangey tones on the tops of the caps; there is also a slightly larger polypore visible with its bottom surface dotted by relatively large, circular pores; the top of the polypore is obscured by a piece of bark being pushed away from the tree

photo of many small orange polypore fungi growing from another dead-but-still-standing tree; the camera is angled up looking at the pore-surfaces of the fungi, which appear to be finely toothed, but we're too far away to get a really clear view

photo of a group of large polypore fungi growing from the bottom of a fallen log which is propped up off the ground; the tops are irregular and have a banded coloration of dark and light browns; the pore surfaces are mostly white with some discolored areas, and continue around the edges to cover a bit of the tops; the pores are far too small to be seen from this distance so the pore surfaces appear completely smooth; above the fungi, the log is covered in a dense layer of vibrant green moss

Hey #Philly friends! Here are two more workshops I will be helping to run in the coming months with the Philadelphia Mycology Club:

March 4th at 6:30 PM at Parkway Central Library
"Zine Workshop with the Philadelphia Mycology Club" will be a fungal kinship workshop where we look at mycological zines and reference books and create zines of our own. Emphasis will be made to mask, since I'm running the show.
https://libwww.freelibrary.org/calendar/event/147830

April 12th at 10 AM at the Discovery Center
"Nature Journaling and Crafting: Fantastic Fungi" will be a two part workshop of nature journaling specimens nearby and creating mushroom crafts! This is an outdoor program. I have less control over it but if I get feedback/if you want to reach out to the org about masking I'm sure they'd hear it out.

Free Library of PhiladelphiaEvents: Zine Workshop with the Philadelphia Mycology Club Join the Philadelphia Mycology Club for a free mushroom-themed zine workshop. Led by Pixel, our instructor, well look at and talk about zines and books on mushrooms and related topics, do a movement activity to embody the lifecycle of a fungus and a meditation on fungi as a part of our lives, followed by a discussion to explore the things that come to mind (where do we see fungi in our cultures, how are they represented and how do they make us feel). Well then transition to a zine making session. Paper, tools, collage and drawing materials will be provided. Space in this free workshop is limited; please arrive promptly to secure a seat. Wearing a mask is strongly preferred. Email us if you have any questions or accessibility requests: art@freelibrary.org
