This workshop is offered on three Saturdays: Nov 11, Dec 2, or Dec 16 from 10:00am to 3:30pm (Lecture 10—1:30pm; lunch 1:30—2:00pm; field ID walk 2:00—3:30pm).
Participants will learn the basic taxonomic identifying features that distinguish mushrooms from each other, where each unique mushroom species can be found, when they can be found, and the myths associated with them. The workshop consists of a lecture, Powerpoint slideshow, hands-on look of mushrooms collected and displayed for each workshop, and a field walk to find mushrooms associated with the Gardens' native plant communities, with a focus on students using the identification tools provided at the workshop to key mushrooms.
