The Los Hongos Cafe opened in November 2025 with a focus on incorporating mushrooms into food and drink for health, vitality, and nourishment. David Poplin is a biochemist and deeply involved mycophile, combining these skills to make a variety of tinctures and extracts which are served with teas, coffees, kava, matcha, and juices. Most of the extracts, syrups, and tinctures which are offered at the Los Hongos Cafe are made onsite.  David will discuss the health and nutritional benefits of mushroom extracts and will demonstrate how these products are made from foraged and cultivated fungi.
