Jake Wyatt returns to present an introductory workshop on properly identifying local spring fungi.
Participants will meet at Salamonie Lake’s interpretive / nature center April 19 at 1 p.m. for indoor instruction and a visual presentation before heading out on the trails. The workshop is expected to last three hours. No mushrooms will be picked or consumed during the workshop.
“It is important to know the difference between similar mushrooms,” said Teresa Rody. “Many edible species have toxic twins.” She also explained that reactions can vary from person to person even for those mushrooms deemed edible.
-Dress for the weather; much of the time will be spent outside along trails.
- Cost is $5 per person, payable by cash or check made out to Friends of UWIS the day of the workshop.
- Advance registration is requested by calling 260-468-2127. Space is limited.
- This workshop is designed for adults and teens aged 16 and above.
This workshop is sponsored by Friends of Upper Wabash Interpretive Services (UWIS).
