WHAT:
Map and Compass Workshop, April 3, 2016
With our attention on the ground, and the excitement of treasure hidden in the duff, it is easy for us mycophiles to become direction-disoriented (i.e.lost). Then too, injury or weather can make return travel impossible. It has happened to a number of us and poses a threat to our safety. This map and compass workshop is designed to help you use a map and compass to find your way. It is suitable for first-timers and for those looking to refresh their skills for the season.
This class will be limited to FFSC members at first. If it doesn't fill, the enrollment will be extended to non-members. Enrollment is limited to 12.

Mycopigments: Exploring Mushroom Dyes of the Redwood Coast with Alissa Allen
3/21 Class full!
Good news — a second workshop has been added for Sunday, March 22. Use the registration links below to sign up.
Many wild mushrooms and lichens contain permanent, intensely colored dyes. In this workshop, you will explore a multitude of dye mushrooms found right here on the Redwood Coast.
Wild foraged fungi and ethically harvested lichens will define our palette. Using 10 species of urban and woodland fungi, along with eco-friendly mordants, we will create a full spectrum of incredibly rich colors - about 20 in all! Learn about foraging, ethical practices, basic identification concepts, and get hands on experience extracting mushroom and lichen dyes for wool and silk.
Mushroom ID Series Cancelled - Spring 2014 (by )
Due to the ongoing drought and lack of mushrooms, the FFSC identification class series will not be held this spring. The "Ridiculously Risilient Ridge" of high pressure parked off the California coast has brought the local mushroom season to an effective close. Raindances are encouraged!
