2024 Myco Mingle and Christmush Sale
It’s Myco Mingle Time
We had a fabulous time at our first Myco Mingle and Christmush Sale in 2023, so we decided to do it again. Hopefully, in a few more years it will qualify as an annual event. So, what is a Myco Mingle? It is when a bunch of mycophiles (AKA CMS members and friends and anyone else who loves mushrooms), meet at a local establishment to eat, drink, and talk mushrooms. Drop Bear Brewery owned by CMS members Lorraine and David Lehane is our go to Myco Mingle hang out.
When you add mushroom merch (below), you get a Christmush Sale!
Come visit between 5 and 8pm to mingle with other mycophiles and do some Christmas shopping. This event is open to the public, so feel free to invite others. In addition to craft beer, Drop Bear has cider, kombucha, soft drinks, and a full service bar to satisfy everyone’s taste. They also have a kitchen that offers fabulous pizza, salads, small plates, pretzel bites and more. Their menu includes both vegan and gluten-free offerings. Plus, feel free to purchase from the Thai Fusion food truck located in the parking lot! Drop Bear Menu, Thai Fusion Menu
