The Arboretum at the University of Guelph will feature two new fall workshops.
Beyond Beginner Mushroom Workshop
On Sept. 28 from 9:30am to 5pm guest instructor Richard Aaron will lead the workshop, 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 as well as those who have dabbled with field guides on their own.
After reviewing basic terminology, the day will be spent collecting and collaborating finds. The fee is $75 plus HST per person and pre-registration is required by calling The Arboretum at 519-824-4120 extension 52358. The registration deadline is Sept. 20.

Galbraith will explain methods for dealing with inclement weather, composition, lighting, creative effects, and explore working in both colour and black and white images. Participants should dress appropriately. This course is suitable for either film or digital photographers of all skill levels. The registration fee is $55 plus HST.
