Join WPMC Club Mycologist Cara Coulter for a mushroom talk and ID walk at Schenley Park.  After a short introductory lecture on fungi, participants will look for mushrooms on one of the Schenley Park trails and collect specimens for an ID table.  We will then provide detailed information about the fungi that we collected, discussing things like identification features and explaining safe foraging practices. We may even select some of the specimens for DNA.  Giving credit to the finder of course.

Please be aware this walk will continue rain or shine so wear appropriate clothing and shoes.
