Intro to Mycology: Mushrooms 101

with Erin Canter

Thursday, May 28 | 1 – 3pm

BRN - Core | BREG - Elective

This basic beginners course to Mycology will focus on mushroom anatomy, ecology, and introduction to component parts useful in identification. This course will NOT focus on specific mushroom identification or foraging, but rather serve to introduce participants to the diversity of mushroom types and characteristics, including use of field guides.

This program will take place outside and will follow easy trails and paved walkways. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time.

She now works at American Conservation Experience here in WNC, helping young people begin their conservation careers through applied conservation projects in the region.
