Learn all about spring-fruiting fungi: the edible, nonedible and toxic. This course provides the basics on local species, along with expert field guidance and identification from our instructor. In a brief classroom introduction, he’ll share visuals, recommend some field guides, and tell us about rare species he has encountered in the field. He’ll also talk about spore prints as a method of identifying mushrooms. We’ll then carpool to field sites for the afternoon.
