"Common Fall Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest (and Their Lookalikes) Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 963 4054 4914 Passcode: 622315"

"Common Fall Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest (and Their Lookalikes) This meeting is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7pm (Come and socialize!), meeting starts at 7:30pm. In this presentation, Leah will show and describe some of the most common and memorable mushrooms found in fall in the Pacific Northwest. She will focus especially on common edibles and how to tell them apart from poisonous or just otherwise tricky potential lookalikes, noting particular physical features and habitats that will help you to identify them on your own.   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 in 2012. She was amazed at the diversity of other mushrooms that day, and set out to learn the science of identification. That curiosity proved insatiable, and now she has become an expert taxonomist and aspires to learn the name of every mushroom she encounters, and delights in teaching others. Leah has special interests in taxonomy, uncommonly known edibles, mycoheterotrophic plants, slime molds and ascomycetes (cup fungi). She regularly leads mushroom ID classes and walks through various Pacific Northwest organizations, does mushroom DNA sequencing work at Molecular Solutions, LLC and has volunteered as a teacher, identifier and board member of the Oregon Mycological Society, and as a mushroom identifier for poison control.
