A Field Guide to Flags

A Field Guide to Flags: Navigating Roads, Camps, and Boundaries
As you arrive on our new land for Mycelial Dreams, you’ll notice colored flags and poles marking the layout of our mushroom village. Here’s how to read them: 

💗 Pink Poles & Flags – Roads

• Pink flags and poles mark the roads.
• New this year: poles with reflective bands at the top to help you navigate at night.
• One-way vs. Two-way: On the map, arrows show one-way roads; dashed lines mark two-way.
• Road names help: “Streets” are two-way, “Lanes” are one-way.

💚 Green Flags – Theme Camps

• Green marks theme camp areas. Your camp number is written on the flag.
• The green can blend into the grass, so take your time when looking for placement.

💛 Yellow Flags – Boundaries

• Yellow flags mark the boundary lines between camps.
• Boundaries weren’t marked in full—mostly near roads—so edges may wobble. If you’re unsure, talk with your neighbors, make friends, and work it out together.
• Most camps ended up with a little more square footage than requested. If open camping fills up and you’ve got space, invite folks in. It’s a great way to make friends and strengthen the web of us.

🎨 Art Markers – Yard Signs

• Art installations will be marked with white yard signs decorated with mushrooms, and showing the name of the art piece clearly

🔴 Red Flags – Fire & Safety

• Red flags mark the burn perimeter, fire lanes, or hazards. Please respect these markings to keep everyone safe.

​A Note on Patience 
This is our first year on new land, and it’s new to all of us. There may be some confusion about where things are, and that’s okay. Please be patient—with yourself, your neighbors, and your fellow mushrooms—as we all learn the layout together. 

Pro tip: Print a copy of the map to carry with you—it’ll make navigating easier. I also put extra care into the details: the tree symbols on the map reflect the actual trees on site. 

Follow the flags, set up, and help weave our new city into being!
