ID & Documenting Mushroom Walk with Luke Sarrantonio 7/25 - 10:30AM
Saturday July 25 - 10:30 AM
Join Luke Sarrantonio to go a little deeper into wild mushroom exploration, with a focus on Identification and Documentation of Fungi that we find on the land at Hudson Valley Seed Company. This program is open to all experience levels and will cover the use of field guides, iNaturalist, and Internet Resources to ID and Document specimens for Education and Conservation. This walk will take place rain or shine. Be prepared to walk on uneven ground through tall grass and forest. We suggest sun and bug protection, closed-toe shoes, and a water bottle.
Suitable for ages 12 and up. The walk is approximately 1.5 hours long.
Luke Sarrantonio grew up in Rosendale, New York and spent much of his childhood exploring the local landscape and ecological features, but it wasn’t until attending university at SUNY ESF (College of Environmental Science and Forestry) that he truly discovered Fungi. He has had a dynamic career within Mycology, developing ecology and cultivation-based educational programs, organizing an annual mushroom and arts festival (For the Love of Fungi), community projects, and a line of functional mushroom products (under the name Mycophilic) for the past 13+ years. His major goal is to be an accessible resource for people who want to learn more about this fascinating group of life. His most recent projects include an outdoor mushroom farm and teaching space with his partner Kaya, at their farm in Accord, NY (Eat Flowers Farm), and a community project called Eat More Mushrooms. He also offers mentorships and currently serves as co-president of the Mid Hudson Mycological Association. More at Mycophilic.net
