Mushrooms of Maine: Annual Meeting

Date: 10/02/2010

Mushrooms are among the most mysterious life forms. They are all colors of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Without them, we'd have no forests (Polyporaceae), penicillin, beer, bread, wine - you get the picture! In this peak-season workshop, we'll put the FUN into FUNgi by identifying specimens, studying spore printing as an ID method, walking tours, and watching a DVD presentation (1 hour). Contrary to popular belief, less than 1% of mushrooms are dangerously poisonous, and we'll discuss the five or so species in Maine that can kill you, as well as a list of 50 or so edible versions. Bring an Audubon (or other) field guide, hand lens, and a basket. Instructor is Ted Elliot. Limited to 14 participants.
