Presentation By Michael W. Beug 

Professor Emeritus, The Evergreen State College

The Columbia River Basin has a tremendous diversity of habitats meaning that the diversity of fungi is fantastic with well over 1,000 named fungi and thousands more yet unnamed fungi in our region. In this talk I will present the best edible spring fungi and how to distinguish the species that can make one sick as well as some of the simply beautiful and fascinating fungi of our region. Many more fungi can be seen in my newest book Mushrooms of Cascadia: An Illustrated Key to Fungi of the Pacific Northwest, Ten Speed Press now available at local bookstores.
