2012 MHMA Mushroom Field Id Educational Series

I am very pleased to announce the upcoming educational series that Mid Hudson Mycological Assn (Mushroom Group - www.midhudsonmyco.org) has been able to assemble for it's members and for the public.

We have pulled together an educational series which I am confident will be of enormous educational benefit for foragers and mushroom fanatics from beginner to advanced intermediate skill level.

Course description: Many times beginners are shown a handful of mushroom species and told to remember them. Learning about mushrooms in this fashion leads to a "patchwork" knowledge base and leaves the student with a potentially keen sense of a few species and a very fuzzy, (if any) understanding of how/why mushrooms are related and how/why they are different. This course is designed to provide a "Top Down¨ look into mushrooms especially for intermediate and eager beginner-level mushroom collectors or naturalists who wish to enhance their knowledge of mushrooms which fruit in our area. Illustrated lectures based upon field characteristics will improve the student's knowledge of the biology, life cycles, ecology and rich variety of forms found in the Mid-Hudson Valley's macro fungi.

This event is open to members and non-members. I have included a link to the FLYER/REGISTRATION FORM for your use and for distribution to any and all that you think might want to attend. If you have any connections to social calendars, or any means of circulation/distribution, please do so.

The more people that attend the better it is for the club financially. The better it is financially, the sooner the club can afford to have other educational events...

The tuition will be:
$100 ALL SESSIONS (Non-Member)
$50 ALL SESSIONS (MHMA Member)
$30 ANY SINGLE SESSION (Non-Member)
$15 ANY SINGLE SESSION (MHMA Member)

(Extremely Affordable Pricing For The Educational Value!!!)
