"Learn what to look for (and what to avoid!) This walk is designed to be an introduction to the mycological world of Maine, with a particular focus on #EdibleMushrooms.
"The first half hour or so of class will be devoted to covering basic fungal biology and life cycle, mushroom myths/truths, and foraging practices. From there, we’ll head into the forest and scan for mushrooms, discussing our finds as we go. The species we are likely to find vary depending on season and location. By the end of class, participants will walk away with growing confidence in several choice species and inspiration to learn more.
"Meet the Instructor:
Louis Giller has spent about 15 years studying, growing, foraging, and most importantly eating mushrooms. His mycological journey began at the University of Denver where he studied environmental science and conducted oyster mushroom research inspired by Mycologist Paul Stamets. He joined North Spore about 9 years ago where he primarily works on R&D, marketing, education, and community outreach.
"We strongly suggest you wear long pants and sturdy shoes or boots. Consider bringing the following with you: a basket, knife, water bottle, magnifying glass, notebook, and paper bags.
"Maine Audubon strives to provide inclusive and accessible programs for all members of the community. If you require accommodations to participate in this program, please email [email protected].
