On Sept. 22 at 8 p.m., Gussen is inviting adults to join him in mushroom hunting.
The director will provide the answers to questions such as:
- “What is that orange thing growing on the tree in my backyard?”
- “Those look tasty, I wonder if they are edible?”
"September is a great month for mushroom hunting," Gussen said. "Feel free to bring any of your amazing fungal finds to the lecture for identification."
Attendees will meet at the cabin by Ruckman Pond.
