DATE : Saturday 19th of November
TIME : 2PM - 6PM
LOCATION : Primary

Come and walk in the woods with other LGBTIQ+ people aged 18-25, learning about mushrooms and plants with forager Susy.

We will discuss queer ecologies, puff puffballs and admire slime moulds! After the walk in the woods, we will discuss how funghi queer nature, and creatively explore how we can build more joyful communities with their help.

We will meet at Primary and travel over to Wollaton park, after the walk and discussion we will head back to Primary for pizza prepared by Kim at Small Food Bakery.

Susy (they/them) runs Queer As Funghi leading foraging walks and creative workshops for trans, queer and intersex people. They are interested in how our relationship with nature can be a symbiotic one, and how it intersects with community care and mental health. They work as a gardener and an art therapist, as well as continually growing, identifying and learning about mushrooms and plants.
