To Move Like a Mushroom: The Naturalist In An Apocalypse

Friday September 11, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm EDT

McKimmon - 2C

What can the underground networks of Harriet Tubman and Amanita phalloides (the death cap mushroom) teach us about a naturalist education at a time when knowing one's environment is increasingly a matter of life and death? How might a "fungal lens" help us to create coherent narratives out of climate chaos in collaboration with the more than human world?
