Mushrooms in Modern Times - 2008 Mushroom Conference
The 2008 Mushroom Conference at Breitenbush Hot Springs Resort near Detroit, Oregon will feature the many uses of mushrooms for humans and the earth. Our expert mycologists will teach you to positively identify the mushrooms and our chefs will demonstrate how to prepare our delectable forest and field fungi. Dr Tom Volk, Paul Stamets and Daniel Winkler will teach and enlighten you about how mushrooms can save the world and the new functions that we have discovered for our fungus friends. Mushroom feasting will be directed by Chef Michael Blackwell at an Interactive Cooking and Tasting event. Paul Kroeger will serve as our conference mycologist and expert identifier of our Pacific Northwest fungi. Mushroom Illustrator and mushrooms for color expert Dorothy Beebee will provide a workshop experience that you will never forget.
Guided field trips, lectures, cooking, art, and identification workshops will fill the time between soaking in the hot waters of the natural springs. The practitioners of healing arts at Breitenbush can soothe your tired muscles after hiking to collect fungi for both the identification and dinner tables. Treat yourself to an educational, delicious, and relaxing autumnal event in the midst of the old growth forests of Oregon.
