(Houston) Identifying and Understanding Mushrooms - The Mysterious Kingdom

I just got this email today
Update Update Update

Hello,

Hope you are well and safe. A quick update on the Arboretum after Hurricane Ike.

The building and grounds are currently closed to public.  All events and classes through Saturday have been cancelled.

The building did not suffer any damage.  There is still no power to the building.

There are many trees down on the trails and volunteers can come out any day Monday - Saturday from 9 am to noon to help clear debris from trails.  You must wear closed toe shoes, long pants are recommended, and a refillable water bottle and mosquito repellant are suggested.

Volunteers are also needed to document damage to the grounds via photos and video (must supply camera).

We are trying to update the website www.houstonarboretum.org with photos, etc.

We will be needing bottled water and snacks for volunteers.

Our phone system is not working other than for updating recordings and leaving messages.  We are updating the main phone line and I am updating my direct line 713-366-0375.  You can try to reach me on my cell at 713-373-9407.  If you have problems reaching me by cell, please leave a message at the 366-0375 number.

We appreciate everyone's help and hope you suffered little through the hurricane.

Thank you for supporting the Arboretum.

Identifying and Understanding Mushrooms - The Mysterious Kingdom

Mushrooms are an often misunderstood kingdom of organisms that absorb their food through the decomposition of organic matter.  This introductory class will acquaint you with the various groups of mushrooms and their characteristics, including identification, anatomy, and life-cycle.  The economic value of mushrooms and their use as food and medicine throughout history will be discussed, although the focus of the class will be on mushroom identification and the tools to distinguish one group from another.  A Saturday field trip to collect, group, and classify mushrooms with a group of well-known mushroom hunters is included.

Instructor: Lucien Bouffard, HANC Naturalist

Dates: 2 class sessions and field trip:
Wednesday, September 24 7-9 p.m.
Thursday, September 25 7-9 p.m.
Field Trip September 27 (time TBA)

Cost: $40 for members; $55 for non-members

Call Registrar at 713-366-0421 to register and receive discount. (Note: offer does not include Nature 101 classes or Health + Wellness classes)

You're full of surprises, imp.  I would recommend such a course to anyone interested in mushrooms.  If they had one like it in my area I would certainly attend.

If I hadn't rated you a five before now I would rate you a five just for this thread.  E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T!

:lol:

You should go to a club meeting.  They are packed with old people. 50+

My girlfriend has a saying:

"They're just old men that study mushrooms.  They're not hurting anyone."

Hunting in groups is a drag for me.  I am selective about who I hunt with.  Small groups of cool hunters rocks though!  Everybody finds shit that other people miss.  When we're done we pile it all on the table and drool.
