COVID-19 NOTE: 
Please do NOT register for or attend this event if you either (1) are not fully vaccinated against covid-19, or (2) are feeling unwell or experiencing any cold or covid symptom on the day of the event. 

MUSHROOM I.D. TABLE: The Culinary Group shares fully in MSSF's educational mission. Please bring a freshly-foraged mushroom sample from the forest (or your yard) to place on our Group's regular Mushroom I.D. Table, where the more experienced mycologists among us will be helping the newbies learn how to spot the edibles and avoid the "loose your lunch bunch."  (Don't worry -- they won't go in the soup!)

Problems? Call Paul Lufkin (415-515-1593) or Maria Pham (415-305-3316), Culinary Group co-Chairs.
