The South London Mushroom Club
Growers, cooks, makers, artists and the fungi-curious - a monthly community where everyone teaches and everyone learns.
What the club is
A monthly gathering of people curious about fungi - growing them, finding them, cooking them, making materials from them, or simply thinking with them. Free to join, low-barrier by design, and run by the community it belongs to.
What we do together
We identify finds, share cultures and equipment, cook, experiment, and plan the shared infrastructure we are building - a community mycology lab, a culture library, and a library of things (the pressure cookers and kit a grower needs but should not have to buy alone).
Who comes and why
Growers and cooks, yes - but just as many makers, artists and ecological thinkers exploring mycelium materials and urban farming, and people who come for the company as much as the fungi. Whatever your interest in mushrooms is, it fits here.
Materials, art and ideas - not only food
The club's range is deliberately wide: mycelium as a material, creative practice, systems and ecology, and cooperative ways of organising. If your interest in fungi has nothing to do with dinner, you are still in the right place.
