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 with an introductory lecture with wild mushrooms on display that were collected from other areas (depending on availability). Next, venture out with an Audubon guide for a hike to find mushrooms growing in the wild then sample some tasty dishes that are prepared using a variety of cultivated "wild" mushrooms. Please note that collecting mushrooms on Audubon property is prohibited.
