Wondering about all those mushrooms sprouting up in your neighborhood, or maybe the ones decorating the woods?  

Henry Young is giving a mushroom talk at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History on Tuesday night.  This little museum is a gem with or without Phil and Henry, but with them speaking, it is well worth a visit.

Although this is not an FFSC event, it features two of our club's most active members.
