Lecture / talk

Join naturalist and author Maria Pinto for "How to Love a Mushroom," a webinar hosted by Newton Conservators on Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM via Zoom. Pinto will lead an idiosyncratic tour of the region's fungal diversity through photos and personal and scientific anecdotes, exploring what fungi can teach us about art, resistance, and the living world. Pinto is a Boston-area educator who leads fungal forays at Harvard's Arnold Arboretum and has published in Science, Orion, and other outlets; her essay collection on fungi was shortlisted for the OCM Bocas Prize and is a finalist for the Massachusetts Book Award.
