Entering the Fungi Kingdom: Basic Mushroom ID

with Laurel Peña

Saturday November 1, 2008 1-4pm $25-50 sliding scale ($10 off for members)

This year, learn to tell your volva from your ascus! Learning basic terminology will help you use a key to confidently distinguish among wild edible, medicinal and poisonous mushrooms. We’ll talk about the properties of some distinctive local species and, if conditions allow, go on a short foray. Recommended reading and materials provided on registration.
