Fungi are an often-overlooked part of nature. Seeking them out is perhaps the most fun hobbies, combining fascinating science, outdoor adventure, and unbelievable food experiences. A topic like this requires professional guidance! With their slideshow of all-local photography, Ryan and Emily of The Mushroom Hunting Foundation will explain the science and the safety rules of mushroom hunting, and then take a look at the most delicious autumn mushrooms, focusing on those considered "safe for beginners" to identify and cook with. It's astonishing to see their diverse colors and forms, and learn about the crucial roles they play—whether edible or not—in the forests all around us. No registration for this free event for adults.
