  • Wednesday, June 5, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern – The Kitchen Mycologist

    Knowing a little mycology (the study of fungi) can make you a better mushroom cook. This New York Botanical Garden illustrated talk online on June 5 teaches basic mycology through the lens of your kitchen. It explores the intersection of mycology and the selection, storage, preparation, and nutritional value of mushrooms; the way fungi spoils foods and improves foods; the biologic reason why mushrooms taste differently and why some are more expensive than others; and the impact of endophytic fungi and mycorrhizal networks on food crops.

    Instructor Eugenia Bone is a critically acclaimed journalist, with an emphasis on food, fungi, and other microorganisms, and former president of the New York Mycological Society. She is a member of the National Association of Science Writers. Her previous books include Microbia, Mycophilia, The Kitchen Ecosystem, Well Preserved, At Mesa’s Edge, and Italian Family Dining. Her books have been nominated for a variety of awards, including a Colorado Book Award and James Beard Award, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Denver Post, The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, Food & Wine, and Gourmet, among others. She has lectured widely, at venues like the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the Denver Botanical Garden, and the New York Public Library.

  • Thursday, July 21, 11:00 am – 12:00 noon – Entangled Life: Merlin Sheldrake in Conversation with Eugenia Bone, Online

    A massively diverse group of organisms, fungi support and sustain nearly all living systems. They throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and help remediate environmental disasters.

    In conversation with food and nature journalist Eugenia Bone, biologist and award-winning author Merlin Sheldrake will discuss how these extraordinary organisms-and our relationships with them-can change our understanding of the planet on which we live, and the ways that we think, feel, and behave. This online New York Botanical Garden special event will take place July 21 at 11 am, and is $23 for NYBG members, $26 for nonmembers. Register at www.nybg.org
