SUMMARY:Monday Field Trip to Extend your Mushroom Discovery
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Mushroom Discovery series\, this Monday Field Trip is an opportunity ONLY for individuals who participated in the Saturday and Sunday workshops. You may also sign up if you’re an alumni of a previous Mushroom Discovery program at the SLO Botanical Garden.  \nOn Monday\, Christian will lead us at offsite location to search for and identify mushrooms in their natural habitat. The location will be local and revealed closer to the day of the event\, as our instructor needs to find the ideal spot for a good variety of mushrooms. This will be a rain or shine event\, a fabulous experience\, and a great way to learn even more about fungi.  \nPlease dress for the weather and bring your own lunch and water bottle.  \nSign up for the Mushroom Discovery Two-Day Workshop and the Friday night lecture separately.  \nInstructor Christian Schwarz studied Ecology and Evolution at UC Santa Cruz\, where his interest in the world of fungi became irrevocable.
