Event Summary
Madison County Conservation is excited to present mushroom expert and former Madison County Naturalist, Jess Lancial, for an amazing opportunity to learn all about our edible fungi!
Join us on May 7th from 1:00-3:00pm at the Backbone Shelter at Pammel Park. The elusive morel mushroom is a sought-after springtime delicacy, but did you know there are other mushrooms and plants that can be foraged? Join Naturalist and fungi enthusiast, Jess Lancial, to learn some tips and tricks for finding morel mushrooms and how to distinguish them from false morels and other look alikes. We will also discover other fungi and plants that can be foraged in the spring. We might even meet some newly trained mushroom sniffing pooches, who can do the hard work of finding morels for us! Be dressed to go off trail in the woods (long pants and close-toed shoes will be a must!). We ask that participants please do NOT bring their own dogs along, as it will distract the working dogs.
Register early as space is limited. Cost is $5 per person. All ages welcome but strollers are not allowed due to terrain. Register online at mycountyparks.com.
