Ancient Forest Mushroom Workshops

By morel delimma ⋅ March 16, 2007 ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

The forest that surrounds Opal Creek in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, produces a large diversity of mushroom every fall. Join past Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center instructor, John Villella, for a weekend as you’ll hike through the tall trees and learn about the amazing world of mycology that holds it all together. Look high and low in the ancient forest of Opal Creek for the curious organisms that come in so many shapes and sizes… that help the forest grow and decompose…that you can eat and use to dye your clothes. You will enjoy exploring for mushrooms, learn to identify common species, discover their role in the forest, and try some tasty treats.
