• Saturday, July 13, 2019 – 9:00 am–11:00 am

Want to learn to safely identify morels, black trumpets, chanterelles, and other delicious, edible mushrooms? A mushroom walk on any given day may only expose you to two or three edible mushroom—and that's if the weather cooperates. In this class you can learn to identify an entire year's worth—a dozen—of the best-tasting, easy to identify mushrooms (no poisonous look-alikes) presented in one indoor sitting. Class includes a slide show of professional photographs, display of tools and field guides, handout with resources, and plenty of Q&A time
