The purpose of this class is to help mushroom foragers identify
specific tree species that are often associated with edible mushrooms
and. Attendees will learn to identify trees that form symbiotic
relationships with specific mushrooms, are parasitized by mushrooms or
consumed by mushrooms post mortem. We will discuss key characteristics
of these trees and their fungal associates supported by a power point
presentation. After the presentation we will take a short hike where
we will identify these trees and discuss their physical traits in
detail. We will look at traits of both living and dead trees. It is
highly recommended that you bring a notebook, hand lens, binoculars
and perhaps a camera to photograph these trees yourself in their
natural environment. Check the forecast and dress for the weather but
certainly wear closed toed shoes and long pants. You may want to bring
drinking water, insect repellent and/or sunscreen, an umbrella or
poncho. General Admission - $50.00
