Alex Dorr is the founder and CEO of the Austin-based functional mushroom company Mushroom Revival Inc. Alex cohosts the number one mushroom podcast in the world, Mushroom Revival Podcast, and authored the book Mycoremediation Handbook: A Grassroots Guide to Growing Mushrooms and Cleaning Up Toxic Waste with Fungi. He was recently nominated as one of Austin Inno' s 25 Under 25, and is absolutely obsessed with the power of mushrooms. Sara Richard is an Eisner and Ringo Award-nominated artist from New Hampshire. Her art is inspired by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, funerary imagery, and the natural world. Her creations tend to skew into the macabre and unknown with a balance of sweetness and sentimentality, honoring the Victorian-era theme of Memento Mori. As a native of New Hampshire, Sara grew up surrounded by trees and plenty of wild mushrooms. When not making art or writing, she' s watching horror movies, cleaning forgotten gravestones with her mom, and collecting possibly haunted curiosities from the 19th century.
