The work beneath the surface

Restore ground.
Strengthen community.

Fungi connect living systems, return nutrients to the soil, transform organic matter, and offer new ways to think about food and materials. We’re bringing growers, researchers, educators, artists, and neighbors together to explore what that can mean here.
