The Mushroom Club of Georgia will lend its support again and, because Sam Landes, the treasurer, has been doing such a wonderful job in guiding us and running the SPEAKER HUB for the last 3 years, we're happy to know that he's going to be with us again this year.
The Alabama Mushroom Society will be represented by its president Anthoni Goodman, aka Indigo Cochiseana, Allen Carroll, Taylor Hayes, Mark Haberstroh and many others of our Alabama friends.
And last, but not least: We have the support of the Florida Academy of Lichens and Fungi Enthusiasts (FALAFEL). Ross Joseph (president of FALAFEL Talk), Dr. Matt Smith (Matt is a University of Florida mycologist), Sarah Prentice (!!), Dr. Rosanne Healy and PhD student Ben Lemmond will attend.
We'll have a grand time! Stay tuned.
LOCATIONS
Our 2-Day MushFest will take place in Rolater Park, downtown Cave Spring. Our fundraiser, Magic Mushroom Music Jam (MMMJ) will take place at Cedar Creek Outdoor Center (Base Camp).
Base camp for the 2020 Georgia Mushroom Festival is at Cedar Creek Outdoor Center & Camping again. Rental kayaks are available to explore the creek and shoals. We are hoping to have at least one community trip on the creek; west leads towards Lake Weiss, AL. Great fishing creek.
