Membership Meetings:

Monthly meetings often have noted mycological speakers. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the months September through June, excluding March, which is the month of our annual meeting. The time is 7:30 PM, and the location is the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is located at 3501 NE 41st St. in Seattle (driving directions).

You may come 20 minutes early to peruse a fine selection of nature books and field guides which are usually available, or to bring in mushrooms you have found to be identified. There is a brief period of announcements and business which is followed by the presentation.

*  These meetings are open to the public.

 

Presentation Schedule:

Tuesday, May 13, 2008, at 7:30 PM:

What happens when there aren’t many wild edible mushrooms available for picking? Well, lots of things! Come to the May meeting to find out how learning mushroom identification can open doors to other interests using fungi. Patrice Benson, our very own PSMS President, will give a digital presentation and a “show and tell” of arts and crafts using mushrooms. She recently traveled to Mendocino to attend the 14th Fungus and Fiber Symposium and will report on the many interesting uses of fungi for color in the fiber and graphic arts. Did you know that the full spectrum of colors can be extracted from different fungi? Come to the meeting to stir up the dye pot and find out why you shouldn’t pass by those colorful Cortinarius and Phabulous Phaeolus.

Would all those whose names begin with the letters A–K please bring an edible treat for sharing after the meeting.
