Wild Facts About Wild Mushrooms In-Person

Explore the diverse and captivating world of wild mushrooms! This all-ages presentation, led by experienced mycophile Lisa Solomon, will delve into the surprising variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and even smells found in fungi, challenging common myths along the way. Participants will learn to identify major genera and their defining characteristics, discover essential gear for forest foraging, and review safety rules for collecting and cooking edible varieties.
