Collecting and Identifying Wild Fungi with Craig Dunek
Most people like to eat wild mushrooms but are too scared to pick anything except morels. Learn the fool-proof-four, other edible species, and how to distinguish poisonous species. We will go over the best means for collecting mushrooms and how to preserve and cook wild mushrooms. We will go over the general biology of fungi and the essential terminology needed to identify fungi on your own. There will be a short lecture followed by a foray, lunch (served with various species of wild mushrooms), a foray in a new location, and lastly, identifying what we found as a group.
