An impressive exhibit of edible and inedible mushrooms will be on display. Discussion topics range from wild mushroom identification to the impact of foraging on native resources. Guests are invited to peruse winemaker’s Stephan Bedford’s extensive collection of books and field guides and are encouraged to bring their own books and favorite recipes to share.
The fungus fun begins at 2 p.m.; cost is only $25 per person, $20 for Bedford Wine Club Members. Cost includes wine tasting. This event will sell out, so make reservations today!
