Mushrooms, Culture and Society: an ethnomycological journey - by Dr. Denis R. Benjamin- BRIT Free Public Lecture (AT)
Wednesday, March 17 4:30 - 5:30 PM

Presented by Dr. Denis R. Benjamin, retired, amateur mycologist and author

Cultural attitudes towards the fungal kingdom are highly variable around the world. Mushrooms are esteemed and sought after in some countries while being shunned and abhorred in others. We will examine the role that both mycophobia and mycophilia play in various societies, and how this significantly influences the use of mushrooms as food or in the local pharmacopoeia.
