“Follow the Rain” at The Parkway Theater
Instead of our regular January Zoom meeting, the Minnesota Mycological Society is partnering with The Parkway Theater to host the Minneapolis premiere of the new documentary Follow the Rain, which is open to both members and the public.
World-renowned fungi explorers Stephen Axford and Catherine Marciniak take audiences on an immersive expedition across the wild landscapes of Australia, tracing the emergence of fungi during one of the wettest years on record. Their mission: to uncover how fungi fit into the larger story of life on Earth.

Additional Ticket Info:
Tickets can be purchased at the Parkway box office anytime before the show, but payment is credit card only (no cash). In-person purchases are charged at the At The Door price, and the discount code cannot be applied. The Parkway is fully digital—no paper tickets are issued.
You do not need the DICE app to enter the event. When you arrive, give your name to the door attendant, and they will check you in. The app is only required if you later decide to transfer your ticket or sell it to someone on the waitlist (if the show sells out).
