Taking the Mystery out of Mushrooming
Join Audubon for a wild mushroom extravaganza and learn how to identify the various mushrooms that grow in our area, including edible ones! Begin inside the barn with an introductory lecture on mushroom identification. There will be wild mushrooms on display that were collected from other areas (depending on availability). Next, venture out with an Audubon guide for a hike in the woods to find mushrooms growing in the wild. Afterwards, sample some tasty dishes that are prepared using a variety of cultivated "wild" mushrooms. Please note that collecting mushrooms on Audubon property is prohibited.
