Mushrooms are tremendously diverse and play an important ecological role. In this New England Wild Flower Society class at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, to be held Saturday, September 9 from 10 – 2, we will first learn about basic fungal biology and identification and then head out to the Garden for a mushroom foray. After lunch, we will identify our finds using field guides and microscopes. Bring a bag lunch and a hand lens if you have one. Co-instructors are David Hibbett and Marisol Sanchez-Garcia. $50 for NEWFS members, $62 for nonmembers. Register at http://www.newfs.org/learn/our-programs/mushrooms-for-beginners-1
