One of the best ways to learn about a topic is to see and experience it in real life! This program will take you into the woods with local environmental educator and mycologist, Skye Webb. Mid-summer is prime time in Appalachia to see the fungal fruiting bodies of many species. Come take a slow walk to find local species, learn the difference between mushroom types, and gain experience in using identification apps!
