The Central PA Mushroom Club's October meeting will take place on Saturday, October 6. We'll convene at Pavilion #1 at 12 p.m. for an introduction to fungi. The program will include a short orientation on mushrooms and how they grow. After the presentation, we will go for a mushroom walk. Come early to hear the talk and for a chance to visit with other members. Please bring a basket or plastic bag to collect mushrooms on the walk.Note: This meeting is open to the public and will be jointly with the park environmental education director, Jen Moore.
What to expect: Generally, there is a brief overview of the kinds of mushrooms that may be seasonally available. Other relevant or important club updates may also be covered. Depending on the number of people in attendance, we will divide into groups to forage for mushrooms. Typically, the walks last 1-2 hours. As people return, mushroom finds are placed and displayed on the tables at the pavilion we'll meet at and then a time of identification occurs. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions during this period.
New members are welcome and can sign up to become members at the meeting. We'll have applications on hand. Dues are $20 annually and can be paid via cash or check. Send us a message if you have any questions!
