Edible Wild Mushrooms of Rhode Island

A special indoor class, and cooking demonstration, with Ryan and Emily Bouchard, creators of The Mushroom Hunting Foundation. Anyone under 18 is required to have a parent or guardian sign for them.
With their slideshow of amazing all-local photography, Ryan and Emily will explain the science and the safety rules of mushroom hunting, and then take a closer look at some spring species they consider "safe for beginners" to identify and cook with. It's astonishing to see the diverse colors and forms of fungi, and to learn about the crucial roles they play—whether edible or not—in the forests all around us. The flavors of edible wild mushrooms are even more astonishing...and you'll have the opportunity to sample some with your instructors at this special presentation.
This program will take place in the library's 2nd floor Auditorium. It is open to all, and we are asking for preregistration to ensure we have enough mushrooms on hand to share with all. Please register no later than August 9th, 2025. Contact [email protected] or (401) 596-2877x306 with questions.
