Wild Mushroom Workshop: Take the Mystery Out of Mushrooming

The Rhode Island Land Trust Council is posting this event on behalf of the Audubon Society of RI. For this event, ASRI requires that you register directly with them. Registration on Meetup does not confirm your attendance. Please register here.

Join the Audubon Society of Rhode Island for an introduction to mushrooms and fungus and learn how to identify mushroom groups and species that grow in the area. Start inside with a presentation on mushroom identification — view wild mushrooms on display that were collected from other areas, depending on availability. Next, venture out for a hike in the woods with an expert guide to find mushrooms growing in the wild. Afterwards, sample a couple of tasty mushroom dishes using a variety of cultivated wild mushrooms.

Please note: Collecting mushrooms on Audubon properties is prohibited. Wear closed-toe shoes, socks and long pants and dress for the weather.

Space is limited. Advance registration is required at asri.org/calendar.
