Common Fall Mushrooms with Leah Bendlin

Discover the fascinating and fun world of mushrooms! The program will start with an indoor introduction to the ecological roles of fungi, their forms, how they eat, reproduce and the basics of identification. The talk will be followed by a casual walk outdoors on the Arboretum trails to carefully observe and explore the species commonly found at Hoyt and in the Pacific Northwest during the fall season! See mushrooms in their natural habitat and start practicing those new fall mushroom ID skills!
