Mushrooms can be delicious or deadly and have played a role in almost every culture for nearly 10,000 years. Learn more about our local edible and poisonous mushrooms with guest speakers from the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz.

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.
