The White Mountains are home to a variety of edible, toxic and unusual mushrooms. Jimmie Veitch will share his explorations with photos at the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library in Lovell, his hometown.

A longtime fungiphile, Jimmie has been leading mushroom forays and forming clubs in North Carolina, New Hampshire and Maine. Jimmie and his brother Parker recently founded www.whitemountainmushrooms.com (http://www.whitemountainmushrooms.com/)

Directions to Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library: Get your Gazetteers ready! From the Bangor region, one option is to get on route 202 W (toward Winthrop) by taking exit 109B off of I-95. Once in Winthrop, follow Route 133 toward Wayne. Just beyond Wayne, turn left onto Route 219 and about 7 miles later take another left onto Route 117. You will be on Route 117 for a while (through Norway) and it will twist and turn. Past Norway, you will continue straight (west) onto Route 118. Turn left onto Route 37 and then a slight right onto Sweden Rd. Sweden Rd. becomes Waterford Rd. and Waterford Rd. becomes Lovell Rd. (Route 93). Take a sharp right onto Route 5, which is Main St, Lovell. The library is on the right.

From Portland, your best bet is to get on Route 302, which takes you most of the way there. In West Bridgton, make a right onto Knights Hill Rd, which bears north to Lovell. Turn slight left onto Route 93 (Lovell Rd), then make a sharp right onto Main Street (Route 5). The library is on the right.
