MUSHROOM WORKSHOP IN GARBER A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
On January 20, Lech Naumovich presented his first Garber
workshop of the 2018 Season, Titled:
Fungi, Soil and the World Beneath Us:
Restoration in Focus. For this
workshop we had TWO wonderful leaders:
Lech and Thea Chesney, mushroom taxonomist and botanist. When I drove up to the Claremont Ave.
Entrance to set-up the refreshments for the event, Thea was already there,
finding many, many mushrooms right at the entrance, and had set up books,
samples, and a microscope on the hood of her car! I knew we were in for a treat.
It was a cold day, but clear, and had rained just a few days
before, making it perfect for finding mushrooms. Thea continued to excite us in learning about
mushrooms for the next FIVE hours – not just the 3 hours scheduled for the
workshop. THANK YOU, LECH and THEA for such a fabulous
workshop – opening up a another fascinating eco-system in Garber – THE WORLD
BENEATH US.
