The 3 Foragers present a program on Mushroom ID for Beginners, where they will explain the steps to take and the terms to know when trying to identify mushrooms. After the slideshow and talk, they will lead a mushroom walk in a small part of Goodwin and try to put your newly learned skills to the test.
