Innovations in the packaging, textile and food industries concerning fungi will also be discussed. If you are passionate about the planet and curious about mushrooms, this is the place for you!
Lizza Bixby is a mycologist and mushroom enthusiast originating from the mushroom diversity capital of the world, the southern Appalachian mountains!
