“Mushrooms: Facts and Fictions “

This presentation will cover a variety of facets, including nutrition, cooking, edibility, dangers, medicinal uses, and others. He will answer such questions as, “Should I buy that wild mushroom in the grocery store, and if I do, how do I cook it?” or “Is that mushroom-laced coffee good for me?” “is touching a poisonous mushroom dangerous?”
