With hands of an artist, eyes of an ecologist, and the heart of a deeply connected human, DIY Mushroom Cultivation author Willoughby Arévalo brings the practical and the joyful together through the science and wonder of mycology. His work is an invitation to not only learn from fungi, but to grow one’s true earthy relationships.Tracing mycelial webs through the forest, we will encounter and observe fungi with multiple senses to try to understand their worlds, lifeways, relationships and behaviour. The conversation will include basic principles of mushroom identification based on features visible with the naked eye, helping you be able to recognize mushroom form groups and work towards learning important genera and species. Learn where and how to safely collect specimens for ID and an honourable harvest. Connect with resources for further learning. Special attention will be given to some of the most ecologically impactful, edible, medicinal and toxic species.
This event is supported by the Everett Crowley Park Committee - if you have any questions, contact ecpcstewards@gmail.com.
