Our November meeting will be on Wednesday, November 15th at the Humboldt Universalist Unitarian Fellowship (24 Fellowship Way, Bayside, CA). We'll have social time and show and tell (bring your mushrooms!) from 7-7:30pm, then we'll discuss club business from 7:30 until about 7:45, including details about our upcoming fair! At 7:45pm, we'll introduce our speaker Christian Schwarz, co-author of Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast and the upcoming Mushrooms of Cascadia.

A Guided Walk in the Mycorrhizal Bewilderness:

The mutualistic relationship between trees and fungi has been well-known for over a century, and metaphors emerging from this interaction have become increasingly common in popular culture. But we have learned many nuances in recent days – we'll cover some of the frontier of research involving the intricacies and nuts-and-bolts mechanisms of this famous symbiosis.
