Join us for an evening engagement with Maria Pinto !

Maria is a writer and scholar whose work explores fungi as ecological, cultural, and historical agents within Black life. Through her project Surveying Black Mycologies, she examines how fungal knowledge intersects with nourishment, poison, resistance, survival, and hidden histories shaped by colonialism, medicine, and environmental injustice. Her work bridges mycology, Black studies, ecology, and cultural history, making fungi legible as both biological organisms and political storytellers.

This online event is exclusive to RIMycoS members as part of the MycoConsortium Winter Lecture Series, a collaborative program of participating mycological clubs.

RIMycoS membership includes free access to all Winter Lecture Series talks.

Members can find the Zoom link in their email.
