Lecture: Forage for Pacific Northwest Mushrooms

When mornings get nippy and the leaves start to turn, many northwesterners head for the woods in search of mushrooms. To celebrate this happy rite of autumn, the Oakville Timberland Library will present Forage for Pacific Northwest Mushrooms, Thursday, November 17 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Mycology expert Marian Maxwell will cover the basics: seasons, locations, permits, edible versus non-edible, and cooking. Maxwell is a past-president of the Puget Sound Mycological Society, a Seattle-based organization that encourages mushroom research, education, cultivation, hunting, identification and cooking.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Oakville Timberland Library. All library programs are free and open to the public.

The Oakville Timberland Library is located at 204 Main Street. For more information, call 360-273-5305 or visit www.TRL.org.
