*Updated: Mushroom Identification Workshop with Larry Evans
May 2, 2023 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Where: Cooper Room 4th Floor at the Missoula Public Library
Get ready, people.
You are walking in the woods and you see a really cool mushroom but you don’t want to pick it because..what if it KILLS you!?!? Maybe you got brave and took one home only to realize you had no idea what it was or what to do with it. Come up your mycoliteracy game and learn how to identify mushrooms with some of Missoula’s biggest mushroom nerds. We’ll present a bit about mushroom anatomy before breaking out into groups to identify different species we’ve brought along using portable keys and field guides.
Unfortunately Larry will no longer be available to lead the upcoming identification class at the library next week as he is caring for a sick family member.
What does this mean for Tuesday? Never fear! Sydney will be leading us, along with support from the rest of the crew in another Amateur Mycologist Mushroom Identification class! *We promise we’ll have microphones this year.
This class will involve a short presentation along with hands on practice time with knowledgeable humans there to help! Field guides will be available to borrow or purchase.
Thank you for your understanding. We still plan to have an awesome time next week and hope to see you there!
