Mushrooming Workshop Offered at Glynwood
Using fresh mushrooms from the woods and slides, Glynwood Center in Cold Spring will hose a Mushrooming Lecture & Foray with Gary Lincoff. The event will focus on edible mushrooms and their look-alikes, so that each participant can become adept at recognizing the best edibles in the area and how to avoid making mistakes. They will also discuss how to prepare local wild edible mushrooms to bring out their best flavors and textures, and how to preserve them for future use.
The workshop will begin with a slide lecture which will be followed by lunch provided by Glynwood. The foray will take place after lunch, after which participants will return to the classroom for discussion. Terrain is moderately steep, so please wear appropriate shoes. Check the weather and dress appropriately.
Gary Lincoff is the author of "The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms," American editor of DK's "Eyewitness Guide to Mushrooms," and co-author of "Toxic and Hallucinogenic Mushroom Poisoning" and half a dozen other books. He is a former President of the North American Mycological Association, Education Chair of the New York Mycological Society, and Instructor in Mycology and Botany at the New York Botanical Garden.
The cost of the event is $70 per person, to be paid in advance by credit card or check. For registration call Anita Barber at 265-3338. The lecture will be held on Saturday, September 13 from 10am to 4:30pm.
