The Arboretum is offering an advanced mushroom workshop on Oct. 7 from 9:30am to 5pm. It is intended for those with some prior experience with fungi who wish to hone their identification skills.
It is suitable for those who have already taken a basic mushroom workshop and those who have dabbled with field guides. After reviewing basic terminology, the day will be spent collecting and collaborating finds.
This is the peak season for fungal fruiting.
The guest instructor is Richard Aaron. The fee is $75 plus tax and early registration is required at 519-824-4120 extension 52358. The registration deadline is Sept. 30.
