    "Edible Poisonous and Fascinating Fungi of the Columbia River Basin" presented by Michael Beug

    The Columbia River Basin has a tremendous diversity of habitats meaning that the diversity of fungi is fantastic with well over 1,000 named fungi and thousands more yet unnamed fungi in our region. In this talk Michael Berg will present the best edible spring fungi and how to distinguish the species that can make one sick as well as some of the simply beautiful and fascinating fungi of our region. Many more fungi can be seen in his newest book, Mushrooms of Cascadia: An Illustrated Key to Fungi of the Pacific Northwest, Ten Speed Press, now available at local bookstores.
