Join us for an engaging talk by Frank Hyman, author of How to Forage Mushrooms Without Dying: An Absolute Beginner’s Guide—the essential book he wishes he’d had when starting out. This guide covers 81 species, from edible and medicinal mushrooms to artisanal finds, as well as a few that are best avoided. With nearly 60,000 copies sold, it ranks in the top 5% of all printed books, and expert forager Sam Thayer calls it simply “excellent.” Reviewers praise Frank’s humor, approachable language, memorable safety rhymes, and captivating essays on the foraging lifestyle. The book also includes recipes, stunning photos, and tips to safely begin your own mushroom-foraging adventures. He has taught foraging to over 1000 farmers, arborists, chefs, and members of the myco-curious public in addition to writing columns on mushrooms for several magazines.
