This 2-hour introduction to mycology session is geared towards biodiversity enthusiasts and foraging newcomers. We will cover what are mushrooms and how they live, as well as how to confidently identify them. An overview of the common wild edible species and their toxic lookalikes will be offered. We will also share important responsible foraging practices. Participants should then know when, where and how to look for wild mushrooms.
