Join us for the gallery opening of Outcasts: Mary Banning’s World of Mushrooms, an exhibition that showcases 28 of Banning's exquisite watercolors and original descriptions from her unpublished manuscript The Fungi of Maryland. These beautiful works, once lost to history, have been brought back to life in this one-of-a-kind exhibit.
Experience a dramatic reading of The Mushroom Letters by former New York State Museum Curator of Mycology, Dr. John Haines, animating Banning’s passionate pursuit of mycology and the challenges she overcame.
Enjoy food and drinks available for purchase from Collar City Mushrooms and Brooklyn Cider House and discover a world of mushrooms like never before!
