As a London Month of the Dead regular, I was chuffed to have an event around Christmas. The performance was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect!

Cemeteries are
excellent habitats for wildlife, including fungi. Join us for a
talk on the types of fungi you might expect to find in a graveyard,
followed by a moonlight walk through Highgate Cemetery to get to
know some of our fungal neighbours. We'll learn how to identify
common species, explore the role of fungi in the ecosystem and
human culture.
Mushrooms are mysterious. They capture our imagination like no
other organisms. Perceived as live-giving, mind-blowing and deadly,
they simultaneously inspire fear, wonder and confusion. Against the
odds, fungi thrive in big cities like London too. Please note the
walk element to this event is weather permitting.
MIKE
GREEN
Mike leads fungus forays and
workshops for the London Fungus Network, a project connecting
mycologically-curious humans with the urban Fungal Kingdom/Queendom
and inspiring them to experience nature in a new way. He is also a
Ranger with London National Park City, an initiative working to
make the city a greener, wilder – and more mushroomy –
place.
