Can you distinguish a bolete from a gilled mushroom? What is a mushroom anyway? While fall is considered fungi season in the Northeast, fungi are seasonally cyclical and different species and types can be found almost anytime except deep winter. Join the New England Wild Flower Society and Jef Taylor (yes, that’s Jef with one “f”)at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln for a walk around the sanctuary to discover as many fungi as we can. Learn about the crucial and sometimes astonishing roles these fascinating life forms have in the ecosystem and some methods for identifying mushrooms and other fungi in the field. $28 for members of NEWFS, $34 for nonmembers.
