The presentation will be highly visual, with plenty of examples, cautionary tales, and opportunities for questions/discussion. About Justin: Justin McDavid is a professional designer and tech writer, and also the current President of Bay Area Applied Mycology (https://bayareaappliedmycology.org).

Learn more about the many species of burn morels and their unique lifestyle. Trent will share the inside scoop with MSSF members: the where, when and how to find burn morels in California. Bio: Trent and Kristen Blizzard are the writers of the Modern Forager blog, the creators of GeoForager mushroom maps and the authors of Wild Mushrooms - A Cookbook and Foraging Guide. Based in Reedsport Oregon, Trent and Kristen (along with Benzie and Lulu, their crazy doodles) chase burn morels and many other types of mushrooms across the PNW and North America.
