The Camden Public Library, in partnership with the Maine Mycological Association, is set to host mushroom expert Greg Marley at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 13, for a presentation on foraging for edible gilled mushrooms.
Many people are advised to avoid the mushrooms that have gills as a number of toxic species also have gills. Marley’s presentation will be based on high-quality photos of New England mushrooms and basic identification features. Marley also will add guidelines to follow and expanded resources. This talk best serves those with a bit of knowledge and experience with mushrooms, but is open to everyone, according to a news release from the library.
This program will take place in the Picker Room as well as on Zoom. If attending via Zoom, prior registration is encouraged to reserve online access. Find the Zoom registration link to attend virtually at librarycamden.org.
