Designed for those who already know the basics of mushrooming, this intermediate field class focuses on sharpening identification skills and improving observation in the woods. Guest expert Noah Siegel, a leading figure in U.S. field mycology with over thirty years of work in identification, taxonomy, and photography, will begin with a presentation that builds practical techniques for recognizing fungi. Noah is a field guide author, an award winning photographer, and a widely requested speaker who has devoted his career to expanding public understanding of the fungal world. His recent three month study of primate mycophagy in Tanzania adds fresh perspective to the session. After the talk, the group heads outdoors for a guided mushroom hunt within an hour of Minneapolis. Guides from Chick of the Woods and Noah will assist with identification throughout the foray, with Noah offering extra support on advanced or challenging specimens. The day concludes with a group review of the collections and deeper discussion of key features and identification tips. Participants may also bring unknown mushrooms or photos for help with identification. Attendees may keep what they collect, though the emphasis is on learning about a wide diversity of fungi, including non edible species, rather than harvesting for the table. The fee is $89.
