POC Fungi Community
Organizer of Fungi Gathering On Kumeyaay territory
Intention
We are so grateful and excited that you have expressed interest in being
apart of this group of like-minded people who want to increase their
access and knowledge to the world of fungi. We believe community-based learning and going outdoors together in a respectful manner
and honoring the land we’re on is of utmost importance. We never
want to harvest excessively or “hunt” mushrooms as a sport or for our
personal collections. Instead, we want to set an intention to begin a relationship with our fungal relatives in a way that is mutually beneficial.
We also intend to preserve what we learn and pass it down to the next
generation who will inherit the Earth.
Prior fungi knowledge is not necessary and you do not need to be an
expert in the field of mycology to participate. In our community, there
is no hierarchy and is inclusive to all levels of knowledge and experience with fungi. Group learning and relationship building is a big part
of our community intention. Building relationships with plants, trees,
fungi, animal and human folx can provide all the medicine that is
needed to inspire and support your journey and experience. The POC
Fungi Community aims to support healing and promote resilience
within ourselves, families, and communities.
Families, and especially little ones, are always welcomed and are encouraged to attend. Your immigration status, gender identity, sexual
orientation matters and we want to recognize you and want to make
everyone feel safe and included.
We are excited to start this journey with you and look forward to
building our community in a sustainable and enjoyable way. Some of
the best learning and growing occurs when done in a collective environment, so please join us as we
walk/hike in search of medicinal and
edible fungi.
