Register: https://forms.gle/w41GTFRJCcPLck3R8

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.

$15-25 cash/check suggested donation goes to the instructor. This is a free event for VT Mycological Society members (donations appreciated).

This intro will be open to all. Participants can use their donation to get a membership to the Vermont Mycological Society: https://vermontmyco.org/

Each session will be complemented by an optional foray-style educational walk the following day at the Matsinger Forest in Danville, providing participants with hands-on experience identifying fungi in their natural habitat.
