They’re all over the web, all over the news, and if you’re lucky (and in the right season), all over your local woodlands. They’re mushrooms, the mysterious eruptions from an otherwise hidden world of life and death! When they emerge, they can delight us with beautiful colors, strange shapes, and curious aromas. Enrich your curiosity by going more deeply into the mystery.
Join Jonathan Kranz for this exciting mushroom talk to explore the joys and hazards of the fungus among us, discovering:
-Which mushrooms are safe to eat and how to find, collect, and prepare them
-How to identify and avoid the most dangerous toxic mushrooms in our region
-The secrets to using sight, scent, and context to identify your mushroom finds
-The strange ways mushrooms live and the vital, hidden roles they play in our habitats
*This lecture is part of our “Plant a Seed, Read” Summer Reading series, where we’re exploring sustainability, community, and the many ways we can grow together.
