[Oct 20]
Ever wondered what that mushroom was you just stepped over? We live in the middle of a fungal wonderland. Come and learn a bit about what grows beneath your feet (and over your head).
Join us for a 6 week class, the final session of which will be the annual Myco-Blitz at the Galbreath Preserve in Yorkville.
We will study macro-characteristics of some of the most common families of mushrooms found locally; Boletes, Agaricus, Amanitas, Chanterelles, Russulas and other shelf and simple fungi. Opportunities to bring in mushrooms you have found will be at first part of class. You should expect to finish class with a good beginning knowledge of mushrooms and how to identify what you find.
No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to learn. Classes meet at Yorkville Community Center (next to post office) Saturday early afternoons, starting October 20 (except Thanksgiving weekend). Class cost for 6 sessions is $75. Cash or check only. All proceeds go to the Yorkville Fire Station to help purchase vitally needed fire fighting equipment. Class size limited so sign up soon.
