APPETIZERS: Everyone is encouraged to bring an appetizer (preferably one containing mushrooms) for sharing with the Group before the main meal. and as with all Culinary Group dinners, you must bring with you: table covering, dishes, cutlery, and beverage of choice (plus a container for carrying home dirty dishes and any leftovers).
REGISTRATION: Only MSSF members may register for Culinary Group dinners. Moreover, owing to intense interest in signing up, we are having to strictly observe our policies that (1) each member may register at most one guest per dinner; and (2) no person may attend a dinner as a guest more than once. (In order to attend a second time, it is necessary to join both MSSF and the Culinary Group.) Thanks for your cooperation; registrations including more than one guest will be administratively altered.
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. Wearing a mask while attending this event is optional but - in view of the current surge and new variant - you are encouraged to do so when you are not actually eating or drinking.
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 -- none of them will go in the soup!)
