Weird & Wonderful Wild Mushrooms

Description

Artworth and local artist, author and community mycologist, Jan Thornhill, will present two engaging biodiversity talks at the Aron Theatre Co-op. Weird & Wonderful Wild Mushrooms is an overview of the biodiversity of macro fungi, with a focus on some of the thousands of species that can be found in southern Ontario and their connections to our local flora and fauna. These fungi come in myriad sizes, colours, textures and shapes and can be found in all seasons and in every habitat. And, of course, beyond their ecological importance and extraordinary beauty, many of them are fabulous edibles!
