This class is FULL. Please email programs@hoytarboretum.org if you would like to be added to the waitlist. Discover the fascinating and weird world of mushrooms! Join local mushroom guide Leah Bendlin on a hike through Hoyt Arboretum. You will begin with an outdoor talk to learn about the ecological roles of fungi, their forms, how they eat, how they reproduce, and the basics of identification. Then Leah will guide a walk among the trees to carefully observe and explore the species together! Class size is limited and pre-registration is required Registration closes Saturday, November 14th at 4:00pm Additional details will be emailed one week prior to the program About the Instructor: Leah Bendlin is a Portland based mushroom and community science enthusiast. She caught the mycology bug after her first outing hunting chanterelles with a friend. She was amazed at the diversity of mushrooms and set out to learn the science of identification. That curiosity proved insatiable, and now, 10 years later, she is an expert taxonomist and delights in teaching others. She regularly leads mushroom ID classes and walks through various Pacific Northwest organizations and has volunteered as a teacher, identifier and board member of the Oregon Mycological Society. You can find her Instagram page, focused primarily on teaching mushroom species of the Pacific Northwest. Additional Program and Accessibility Information: Please review our adult education policies.
