On Sunday June 5, we will be offering the much-awaited Mushroom Microscopy course! It will cover more advanced mushroom identification using microscopic features and staining. We will look at features of gilled mushrooms, ascomycetes, polypores, and more! Mike will be offering this course privately, at a cost of $125 if you come for just the microscopy course, or $100 if you come for both courses.
