Have you ever wondered what kind of mushroom popped up in your yard after a rain? Did you know that the largest living organism on Earth is believed to be a honey fungus measuring 2.4 miles across in the Blue Mountains of Oregon? How about the fact that some species of fungus host off of live insects? Did you know that there are some 125 species of mushrooms in San Diego County, but the exact number is not known because a complete inventory has never been taken? Professor Elio Schaechter will introduce us to the fascinating and intricate world of mushrooms on Wednesday, March 15th from 4:305:30 pm at the Julian Library. Known world wide for his expertise on mushrooms, his style is informative, at times humorous, and always enlightening. His talk, “Mushrooms Through The ages”, will be followed by a display and discussion of freshly foraged mushrooms and accompanied by an array of mushroom snacks and refreshments. This presentation is sponsored by the Volcan Mountain Foundation (VMF) and the San Diego Mycological Society (SDMS). After Prof. Schaechter speaks, a small contingent of SDMS members will display and discuss mushrooms gathered from the Volcan Mountain Preserve, and introduce you to the the allure of the mushroom hunt—the foray. They will talk about how to conduct a foray for mushrooms as background to holding a “flash foray” – a “flash mob” type mushroom hunt on Volcan Mountain with the optimal weather conditions determining the date. The mushrooms found by participants during the foray will be identified by an expert and documented to initiate an on-going register of mushrooms on Volcan Mountain. Elio Schaechter is Distinguished Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Emeritus, Tufts University School of Medicine, adjunct Professor Emeritus at San Diego State University, and the University of California San Diego. He is the author of the thoroughly entertaining book, In the Company of Mushrooms: A Biologist’s Tale, and a co-founder of the SDMS. Please join the Volcan Mountain Foundation and the SD Mycological Society for an informative and fun evening learning about the fascinating world of fungus!
