Wild Mushroom Foraging
Guest Connie Borodenko will lead us through a morning of all things Mushrooms. Connie is an active member of the Connecticut Valley Mycological Society; she leads walks and gathers mushroom with them all over Connecticut. Next Tuesday, Goodwin will be hosting one of these walks. We will begin by getting a brief introduction on Mushrooms and Mushroom identification. Then we will take a walk around Goodwin to collect specimens. Connie will then go over our findings, identifying them and telling us more about them. You may wish to bring in samples that you have gathered in your yard.
This event is jointly sponsored by the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA), Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) Division of Parks, and Friends of Goodwin Forest.
