Do you know where to look to find the dozens of mushrooms species that call our campus home? Beaty Museum Members are invited to join Dr. Mary Berbee and her team to learn more about how to identify different mushroom types and where to look for them.
Meet at the museum for an introduction to fungi and instructions on what to look for and then embark on an hour-long walk in small groups around campus to collect specimens. The groups will meet back at the museum to compare finds and vote for their favourite fungi!
