Start time: 10:00 AM
End time: 5:00 PM
This full day hands-on workshop will take place on a private 400-acre property in the beautiful Mulmur Hills where we will roam through the woods looking for mushrooms in the morning, and spend the afternoon indoors studying what we have found. The day will consist of a guided walk, collecting specimens, and plenty of time to develop your identification skills in our 'classroom'. There will also be discussions on such topics as the vital roles fungi play in the environment.
The focus of the workshop will be on learning to identify all types of fungi, not just edibles. In other words, come with the perspective of a naturalist, not a forager. You are likely to see up to 100 different species during the workshop.
To maximize student/teacher interaction, this workshop is being limited to 10 participants (plus our two co-hosts), so register early.
SORRY: NO DOGS
The instructor will provide:
- a species checklist for each participant
- field guides available for use
- 10x hand lenses available for use
