This final event in our Summer Naturalists Series with Maine Outdoor School will highlight mushroom diversity, with special emphasis on identification. We’ll discuss edibility as well as a general exploration of how mushrooms fit into the larger autumn ecology on the Coast of Maine. We will meet at The Naturalist’s Notebook and the exact location of the woods walk will be sent upon registration, click HERE to do so.
