Finding and Harvesting Edible Mushrooms Workshop October 17, 2009

Join eagle-eyed mushroom enthusiast Josiah Legler and learn where and when to look for edible mushrooms, how to get a collecting permit and where you need it, how to use a field guide to identify edibles, and how to harvest mushrooms using low-impact, sustainable methods. The class will meet at the Arboretum, then carpool to a mushrooming location about 45 minutes away. Dress for a walk in the woods and bring a mushroom guidebook (some will be available for sale), and a lunch. This class will prepare you to find and harvest mushrooms on your own, but we will respect the forest on the day of the workshop by not collecting mushrooms with a large group. Call 747-1504 to sign up or for more information. Pre-registration is required. Call (541) 747-1504 or email mtpisgjp@efn.org for more information or to sign up.
