A wild mushroom tasting and lecture will take place Friday evening, August 22nd, from 5:30 to 8:00 PM at the Arboretum. The next day, Saturday the 23rd, there will be a guided foray from 9:00 AM to noon on the San Francisco Peaks.
The cost is $30 for members and $35 for non-members. Mark your calendars!
Unfortunately, I missed this event last year as it conflicted with another event I needed to attend. Hoping very much to be able to come this year.
(Ed. Note 8/25/2014 – This event sold out very early, with most tickets snapped up by members of the Arboretum a number of weeks ahead of the festival. Your Arizona Mushroom Forum editor was among the unlucky ones who did not reserve a spot in time. If you plan to take part in this event in the future, make sure you register early, and consider obtaining Arboretum membership.)
