Much Ado About Mushrooms Workshop October 2, 2008

Once again the Brother Brennan Environmental Education Centre will be hosting a "Much Ado About Mushrooms" week-end residential workshop under the tuition of Dr Andrus Voitk author of "A little illustrated book of Common Mushrooms of NL" and organizer of the annual Newfoundland mushroom foray.

The workshop is for beginners or those with some experience who wish to learn more about identifying local fungus. The Brother Brennan Centre is located in the Avalon Forest near Deer Park, Salmonier Line, an ideal location for combining classroom studies with foraging in the woods. The course will be a combination of lectures, foraging and hands-on workshops and will end with a hike to collect edible mushrooms to take home. The cost of $175 includes tuition, accommodation and all meals.
