What
are those weird things that pop up in the woods after the rain? Are you
mystified by wild mushrooms? Curious? Scared? Or do they make you
hungry?
Join
The 3 Foragers as they share some of the secrets of the fungal world
and teach you how to safely identify wild mushrooms using various
available tools and techniques. You'll learn how to use your senses to
examine mushrooms for their sights, smells, and tastes, and consider the
relationships between fungi and the natural world around us. We will
dispel common myths, and discuss mycophagy, the cooking and eating of
wild mushrooms. This is a sit down presentation followed by a short
walk. Bring a pen to take notes, a handout will be provided.
