SUMMARY:Northeastern Mycological Foray
DESCRIPTION:This year’s annual northeastern mushroom foray is in Lock Haven\, PA\, roughly an hour and a half west of Scranton and two hours from the Delaware Water Gap. \nAmple amounts of Pennsylvania state lands surround the valley of the Susquehanna River and provide excellent foray collecting sites. \nThis fun-filled foray is well-described on the web site\, and will be attended by 15 professional mycologists and over 200 mycophiles! \n[See http://www.nemf.org/ for the registration form & information]

SUMMARY:Exploring North Country Peatlands
DESCRIPTION:Peatlands? Fens? Don’t get BOGGED down in definitions of our most cherished wetland resource! \nThis program will help you sort out how to identify them\, and how to understand why they are so important on the landscape. \nJoin Dr. Rick Van de Poll for an evening slide extravaganza and then a morning field trip to one of the most pristine peatlands in the North Country. \nFind out why ‘Tolland’ (Bog) Man was so well preserved after 2500 years\, why bogs were so well mapped in NH in the 1940’s\, and why entire cultures have survived on the heat they produce. \nThe unique flora and fauna associated with peatlands will be introduced during the slide show\, and then discovered up close in the field the next day. \n2-Days to This Workshop \nJuly 25 – Thursday evening slide show will last from 7 – 8:30 pm\, and \nJuly 26 – Friday morning walk will extend from 9 am to 12 pm. \nBe prepared for inclement weather as needed\, bugs\, and possible ticks\, although we will be mostly walking on an ADA accessible trail and boardwalk. \nLength of the walk is about one-half mile out to the bog mat.

This +/- one-mile easy paddle will cover the 14 stops of the Water Trail that highlight the ecology of the Cockermouth River delta area. \nMeet at Grey Rocks along the North Shore Road roughly 1.5 miles from Route 3A (Mayhew Highway).

SUMMARY:“Can You Eat It?” Introductory Mushrooming Class
DESCRIPTION:This first mushrooming field class at NHMC will take place at the headquarters of the NH Mushroom Company in Tamworth\, NH (directions\, please see http://www.nhmushrooms.com). \nIt will cover the basics of collecting mushrooms\, distinguishing edible from poisonous\, estimating nutritional value\, beginning cultivation and more. \nWe will also go out to foray at a local “hot spot” to find early summer fruiting of some fabulous fungi and return to identify species. The highlight will be owner Eric Milligan’s cookery\, which promises to be as delicious as ever! \nCost: $50\, pre-registration required.

SUMMARY:Wild Edibles of New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:In spite of centuries of ancestral practices to collect wild edibles\, the grocery store ends up being our most common “foray site.” \nThis workshop is designed to recall some of the knowledge of bygone days\, where sustenance and nutrition relied on familiarity\, skill\, and careful preparation. \nWe will cover common edible and medicinal plants that grow right in our backyards. Both in-class presentations and fieldwork will provide a taste of what is out there. \nBe prepared to sample new foods from weeds to tree bark to rock tripe. Registration is through the NHOLC web site above ($165/day).

SUMMARY:Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants and Fungi
DESCRIPTION:The edible and medicinal value of plants and fungi will be contrasted with the poisonous aspects of certain members of these groups. \nAlthough the collecting season for fungi will only be beginning\, there will be ample material among the polypores to identify and talk about medicinal aspects in the field. \nWho knows\, we may get lucky and find a morel or two! \nPlease register for the event with Bette Jo Taffe at bjtaffe@gmail.comor 603-786- 2553. \nCost is $20 per person. A wild-crafted soup included in the price!
