OPEN foundation and TitsOut4Snacks brings you an out-of-hours event to delve into the wonder of mushrooms, centred around a lunch executed by the friendly TitsOut4Snacks as part of their new BITESIZED series. On the sun-struck terrace of SexylandWorld, we will share insights about mycology, look into the psychedelic potential of mushrooms, and spark conversations through thought-provoking questions and revealing dishes. The lively edible table will also explore different culinary traditions involving mushrooms and why these methods morph mushrooms into an array of different flavours and textures. Succulent, steaming, and stimulating.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERs

[Pim/He] is a true fungal enthusiast. A mushroom grower, researcher, and self-taught forager who wants to share the potential that both mushrooms and mycelium hold in tackling current issues. In his talk we understand how fungi support the growth of a spectrum of plants from the land, and the value and method of growing mushrooms yourself.
