This one is the wonderful FUN WITH FUNGI MUSHROOM COURSE hosted by Drs. Allison Walker and Keith Egger, who bring a wealth of knowledge about fungi & ecosystems. This is an exciting course and we are grateful to Allison and Keith for leading this again this year! The course will be held on SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH FROM 10:00 AM TO 4:00 PM up at the beautiful Ross Creek Centre for the Arts. The course will involve a mixture of outdoors time in the woods observing and collecting mushrooms, and some indoor classroom time in the Centre. Learn to identify mushrooms from major fungal groups and common species, learn about their diversity and roles in ecosystems with a focus on the Acadian forest, and more! Lunch from Ross Creek is included in the course fees (dietary preferences can be accommodated).

This fall, starting in September, we are planning on going to a hybrid model for presentations. That is, you can choose to stay at home and enjoy the presentations via Zoom or you can show up and hear the presentation in person. Instead of being at the university I have reserved the Curling Club for our meetings. The advantage there is that there is a kitchen so we can start with a social and refreshments before the presentation starts. We will be sending out a separate questionair to get an idea of how many would like the in-person presentation versus staying at home and enjoying the meeting via Zoom.
