Fungi class and slideshow
Fungi are an incredibly fascinating and important part of nearly every ecosystem on earth. This hour long slideshow will help you understand mushroom-producing fungi as you never have before. Why are they where they are and why do they look like what they look like? How do they appear so suddenly? Can you tell edible mushrooms from poisonous ones (spoiler: yes, but it’s not easy!) This makes a great companion to the Mushroom Walk.
“Not to lay it on too thick but you are far and away my first choice for a field mycology instructor. You embody competency and enthusiasm and wanting to engage people in the whys and wherefores and develop their own enthusiasms”
-Tia Pinney, Senior Naturalist & Ecological Manager, Mass Audubon
“He taught attendees how to tell apart different spore surfaces and identify which trees various mushrooms like best. Everyone from the mushroom-curious to seasoned foragers learned something new, and by the end of the walk, participants were finding specimens left and right”
