Afterwards, attendees will return to the Oak Tree School for an afternoon of identification and mushroom-related presentations. Be prepared to walk in the damp woods and off trail for an optimum mushroom hunting experience. Useful items to bring include: collection basket, waxed paper bags, knife, camera, notebook, field identification guide, and hand lens. This is a rain or shine event.
