List of Mushrooms at the Paul Smiths VIC

Join mushroom expert Susan Hopkins for a casual walk in the woods to look at all mushrooms and fungi. We will discuss and identify poisonous and edible species and point out some of medicinal value too. This walk will take at least 2-2 ½ hours and be held rain or shine. All walks start at 10:00 AM. Bring a lunch if you want to stay longer after the foray. You can lunch on the picnic tables under the pavilions, while using books and reference materials provided by Susan for more study. $15 per person for Friends of the VIC. $20 for nonmembers.
