MEANDER FOR MUSHROOMS & BOOK SIGNING WITH MEG MADDEN

Birds Of Vermont Museum, 900 Sherman Hollow Road Huntington VT
June 29 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Explore for fungi! Talk with a naturalist! Receive a signed copy of Meg's new book!

Writer-naturalist, photographer, and mycology educator, Meg Madden, leads an exploration on the Museum's trails: to seek, to find, and to understand the fungi that live in and on our corner of the wood-wide web.

We'll begin with a late afternoon walk around the Museum's property. On this walk we will explore the woods and learn about the mushrooms we find along the way including what they are, how to identify them, and the essential roles that these fungi play in forest ecology. We will also discuss the importance of community science and learn tips and tricks for taking mushroom photos.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and bring your questions and curiosity! A smartphone equipped with the iNaturalist app is a plus, but not required.

At the close of the stroll, we'll gather in the museum; each attendee will also receive a copy of Meg's new book, This is a Book for People Who Love Mushrooms.

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Call the museum to register! 802-434-2167
