Get Your Wild Mushrooms Identified
PSMS offers the Hildegard Hendrickson ID Clinic for identification of your wild mushrooms in the spring and fall seasons. One or more of our identifiers will be there to tell you the name of your wild mushroom collections, and answer your mushroom-related questions.
Day: Mondays from 4-7pm
Please check our Home page where we post the dates of the ID clinics>
Venue: Vicinity of the Glass Atrium (aka "The Commons") at the Center for Urban Horticulture
The spring ID clinics usually start in mid-April (or earlier depending on the weather) and continue until the end of the spring mushroom season. The fall ID clinics usually start in late September (or when the fall rains start in the Pacific Northwest.)
You can always send us identification requests by email. For more information, see the Mushroom Identification section of Contact Info.
