Mushroom & Fungi: Stories from the Wild

This year we are unable to gather in person for events or hikes, but we’re finding ways for the community to experience different elements of the Klamath Siskiyous through online events.
Join us on this year-long learning adventure in our Love Where You Live webinar series.  Once a month we will host a guest speaker sharing their knowledge and experiences that highlight unique qualities of the KS that are the crux of why we love where we live and why conservation in this region is important.
For the 5th talk in our series, discover basic wild mushroom ecology and biology, with a focus on the many ecological interactions occurring between mushrooms and other organisms in our local forests. This talk will also cover the basics for solid identification of our most common edible species, with important information on how to tell edibles from their common lookalikes.
With guest speakers:
John Villella, Senior Lichenologist from Siskiyou Biosurvey
Deb VanPoolen, Southern Oregon Plein Air Artist for over 25 years, specializing in highlighting natural biodiversity with her inspiring art. www.biodiversityarts.com
