Join regional mushroom educator Mike Snyder for a fun and informative virtual class about summertime mushrooms!
In this one hour program, Mike will share information about how to identify the most common edible mushrooms that occur in Missouri during the summer as well as give tips on how to use them in the kitchen.
Mike will also show us a few of the most common toxic summer fungi and how to know and avoid them. This is a perfect opportunity to learn how to forage for the mushroom bounty of the warm season here in our state!
There will be a 30 minute Question and Answer session at the conclusion of the program, so write those questions down!
Mike Snyder is a myco-educator who has been studying and foraging for mushrooms for over 15 years.
