The conversation will include basic principles of mushroom identification based on features visible with the naked eye, helping you be able to recognize mushroom form groups and work towards learning important genera and species.
Learn from mycologist Willoughby Arévalo where and how to safely collect specimens for ID and an honourable harvest. Connect with resources for further learning. Special attention will be given to some of the most ecologically impactful, edible, medicinal and toxic species.
