Introduction to Microscopy for mushroom identification. 

Speaker:  La Monte Yarroll

La Monte Yarroll will present an introduction to studying mushrooms with a microscope. We’ll look at how to examine spores and learn definitions of spore-related terms like “fusiform”. We’ll learn about other major microscopic structures such as basidia, asci, and cystidia. If you have a microscope, please bring it. There will be an opportunity to prepare your own slide to examine.
