# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Adventures in Edible Plant Foraging & Culinary Possibilities with Author Karen Monger
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 15 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 15 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In March 2024, the Research Director at Public Citizen released an alarming report to the public, "Mushrooming Risk: Unreliable A.I. Tools Generate Mushroom Misinformation." The report highlights AI-powered identification apps, whose use has led to the hospitalization of foragers who consumed toxic mushrooms, and generative AI foraging assistance chatbots and image generators, which can produce dangerous misinformation. 

While some AI tools can be a helpful resource for mushroom foragers in conjunction with other sources of information, they are no substitute for human knowledge and experience. So what's a would-be beginner forager to do? You should come to Hagaman Library on Wednesday, July 15th at 6:30pm in our DeMayo Room, where we will welcome Karen Monger, author of "Adventures in Edible Plant Foraging: Finding, Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Native and Invasive Wild Plants" for a FREE presentation! 

Mrs. Monger will teach participants how to safely explore the culinary possibilities of the best tasting edible wild plants and mushrooms found in southern New England with stunning photos of some all-original recipes. Registration is required, as space is limited: To RSVP, please contact Cynthia, Hagaman Library's Community Services Librarian, at either 203-468-3890 x 106 or cgwiazda@hagamanlibrary.org.
