​Gaining confidence with wild mushrooms can be a challenge. It can be harder and scarier than learning plants!

I designed Mushrooms 101 so you can have a way forward to confidently delve into the world of wild mushrooms, whether you just want to recognise a few edible mushrooms, or want to know it all! 

Join us for a slide show and talk that covers confident identification skills, book and internet resources, some of the edible, poisonous, medicinal, and other interesting fungal superstars, and fungal humour! This will be followed by brief demonstrations on mushroom cultivation, making mushroom medicines,  and a forest mushroom walk. Bonuses include access to the slide presentation online, and an exhaustive list of resources to continue learning.
