Take the Mystery Out of Mushrooming
2018-08-25 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Halifax) | Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge, 12 Sanderson Rd., Smithfield, RI, 02917, United States
Location: Smithfield
Join Audubon Society of Rhode Island for an introduction to mushrooms and fungus, and learn how to identify mushroom groups and species that grow in the area. Start inside with a presentation on mushroom identification – view wild mushrooms on display that were collected from other areas, depending on availability. Next, venture out for a hike in the woods with an expert guide to find mushrooms growing in the wild. Afterward, sample a couple of tasty mushroom dishes using a variety of cultivated ‘wild’ mushrooms. Please note: collecting mushrooms on Audubon properties is prohibited. Wear closed-toe shoes, socks and long pants and dress for the weather.
This program is for adults only. No pets, please.
