Do you enjoy mushrooms? Do you like seeking them out in the brush, delighting when the perfect mushroom is found? Are you discouraged when spring foraging comes to an end? The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will offer a free virtual Foraging Summertime Mushrooms program to prepare you for summertime foraging.
What Is The Class About?
Mike Snyder, a certified mushroom identification expert, will discuss mushrooms that appear in summer. Snyder will discuss how to find edible mushrooms and how to avoid toxic ones. After his presentation, there will be a 30-minute question-and-answer session.
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.
