A mushroom walk and gender decomposition workshop for queer, trans and intersex people aged 18-25, led by mushroom lovin' Susy (@queer.as.funghi on insta!). We will cruise through Abney Park Cemetery, looking at mushrooms and plants, talking about funghi's relationships with everything around us and thinking about queer, trans and intersex ecologies and what we can learn about ourselves from shrooming.
After the walk, which will last about 2 hours, we will head indoors to wrap up with a chat, a cup of mushroom tea and a GENDER DECOMPOSITION workshop!

- The exact location of where we will meet will be emailed in advance of the walk, but it will be an entrance to Abney Park Cemetery.
- Please wear weather appropriate clothing and shoes and bring water.
- The walk will be around 2 hours long, over uneven ground, and will be followed by a short walk to the hour long workshop at Atlas Grinds. Please do get in touch to discuss the accessibility of the walk if you need more information about the route by emailing queerasfunghi@gmail.com.
- The walk will be an educational foray, rather than a foraging walk, due to the conservation work done at the Cemetery.
- This walk is explicitly welcoming to neurodivergent people, so please do get in contact if you have any specific questions or needs about the walk that would make it feel more accessible.
