Join us to learn about mushrooms and how to identify and differentiate between various species. We will discuss mushroom picking and collecting etiquette, and various ways of identifying fungus genus and species – by shape, parts, and anatomy of a mushroom, color, smell, and tree associations! Participants will have time to explore, find, and closely observe and identify various fungi, plus, they will get to select a couple of mushrooms to bring back to the Museum and illustrate if they choose to participate in the following workshop. Open to ages 7+. Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
This tour will be led by Sarah Brothers Bot. Sarah is a Board Member at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History and is the Arts Education Director for Arts Council Santa Cruz County.
