So much spore art, so much fun! 🍄🎨 Our First Friday spore print workshop with Kennan was such a success, we’re doing it again next month! Thank you to everyone who joined us and got creative. We loved seeing our Santa Cruz community turn mushroom spores into little works of art! And our very own Tommy on the saxophone was just icing on the cake! 🎷✨ Join us Friday, December 4, at our Santa Cruz Store & Café for more fun with spores. Bring a friend and let’s make something beautiful! 🍄
