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.

Our Potluck replaces December's General Meeting. Come spend a delicious evening in the company of the great cooks of the FFSC for our annual Holiday Potluck! Bring your dish of choice, made to serve at least 10. The dish should adhere to the Suggested Species List and be labeled with a dish card, both found here: Potluck Essentials. Please bring your dish hot (as appropriate) and ready to serve, as this facility has only a small kitchen and last-minute cooking is not possible. Chef Bob Wynn will be coordinating service and keeping dishes warm as needed.
