Mushroom Exploration
Event published by Fernwood Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve
Join Dr. Henry Van T. Cotter for an introduction to mushrooms, their identification, and ecology!
After a brief overview, attendees will venture into the gardens and nature preserve to search for mushrooms and collect samples for further examination. The session will end with a display of the specimens gathered, including a discussion of their taxonomy, ecology, and utility as food or mycomedicinals.
Many mushrooms fruit in the late summer/early fall. So, weather willing, there should be an abundance of different species to discover!
Admission: Cost: $40 ($32 members)
