Event Details
Take a mid-day break with our free High Noon Talks! Discover interesting, and often untold, stories of Texas at our casual lunchtime series.
Hear about the fascinating world of fungi including our official state mushroom, the hissing Texas Star Mushroom, with Angel Schatz from Central Texas Mycology. This rare and unique species, found only in Texas and Japan, is renowned for its distinctive star-shaped appearance and mysterious life cycle. Learn about community programs that are changing the conversation around fungi and its ecological importance in Texas ecosystems. Attendees will receive a mushroom grow block to take and upcycle in their own garden.
This program is FREE to the public.
Formally an experience designer and animator in the tech world, Angel Schatz hopes to inspire more people to dial into the wood-wide-web. With a passion for understanding the ecosystem of central Texas and making mycology education accessible, she is a long-time urban gardener with a gift for harmonizing vegetable gardening and mushroom growing.
Public programs at the Bullock Museum explore relevant history and celebrate the culture that has shaped our modern world. Through engaging discussions, live performances, and experiential activities visitors are invited to see local connections and discover how Texas fits into a broader national story.
