Fall Mushroom Camp – Nov 8-10
Fall Mushroom Camp at HJ Andrews Experimental Forest near Blue River will be a great way to learn about local fungi. The weekend will include forays lead by Chris Melotti and Cheshire Mayrsohn, a mushroom identification session with Molly Widmer, a mushroom tasting by Lee Yamada, and a Potluck dinner/social on Saturday evening. A more detailed schedule will be provided to those that register.
About the Venue: The H.J. Andrews is a 16,000-acre ecological research site in Oregon’s beautiful western Cascades Mountains near Blue River. The landscape is home to iconic Pacific Northwest old-growth forests of Cedar and Hemlock and moss-draped ancient Douglas Firs.
We will be staying in apartments that have 4 or 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. All bedrooms have 2 twin beds. All participants will be assigned to a specific bedroom in an apartment.
