Back by Popular Demand! --- Intro Mushroom Identification Class
|
Our Scientific Advisor Dr Fred Rhoades will again host a Beginners Mushroom Identification
class for Club Members. Those who took this class last year
found it to be informative and fun. The primary focus is on learning how to classify mushrooms
by genus. The class includes presentations and discussions, but mostly involves
hands on guidance
in assessing mushroom characteristics and identifying the specimens class attendees bring in.
