Naturalist and landscaper John Root will present “Mushrooms of the Northeast,” on Tuesday, May 21 at 7pm. This presentation features the amazing diversity of our native fungi. Habitats, seasons of availability, and identifying characteristics of both edible and poisonous mushrooms are discussed. Questions and comments are welcome, and illustrated pamphlets with guidelines for safe and responsible foraging, descriptions of select species, and references for further study are offered to participants.

Program made possible by the Friends of the Clapp Memorial Library.
