April Stone Soup Series Explores FUNGI!
A discussion about the fascinating facts about fungi revealed in the book: Entangled Life
Tuesday, April 26, 6:30 pm
In our recent issue of Dogwood Lane Quarterly, we offered another opportunity to deepen your knowledge and connection to the wider natural world by providing our quarterly book recommendation. This quarter, we invite you to read Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life, How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures, an international bestseller that explores fungi - "a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that support and sustain nearly all living systems." It is not necessary to have read the book in advance of the session, but you will definitely want to afterward!
The zoom presentation exploring this book will take place Tuesday, April 26 at 6:30 pm. To receive the zoom link for this session, please register here or email us at
