Mushrooms are really really fascinating, with their multitude of shapes, colors, sizes and textures, and the way they pop up like magic in unexpected locations. They add flavorful depth to foods, but also have a reputation as mysterious and dangerous, springing from the psychedelic, medicinal and even poisonous properties of some of them.
Biologist Merlin Sheldrake has written a book called Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape our Futures, in which he explores the knowledge mushrooms can give us on how the natural world works and how they’ve influenced it.
Join retired educator/naturalist from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History for a program that will not only discuss the book and its insights, but also some of the myths about mushrooms and information about going mushroom hunting. The program is sponsored by the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes and Loganberry Books, where you can buy a copy of Entangled Life.
It’s free (although a donation to benefit the Nature Center is welcome!) but registration is required. Go here.
