Sharon Audubon 

The Fantastic World of Fungi

Saturday, September 10^th 10am-12pm

Location: Sharon Audubon Center 

Join mycology enthusiast John Wheeler in a discussion and exploration of our region’s fungal diversity. Participants will learn about species common to CT’s NW corner in a preliminary photo presentation before taking a stroll on the property to discover mushrooms in their habitat. This workshop will be very hands on, as participants will learn how to categorize specimens into their appropriate families for identification. Leave your collection baskets at home but do bring any field guides you would like to use and your curiosity!

John Wheeler has been passionate about our local fungi for about 34 years. In 2000, he and two fellow mycophiles started the Berkshire Mycological Society and he became president in 2008. He has been an enthusiastic booster and teacher of all things fungal and would love to share some photos, lore, and insight about the world of fungi around us.

The difference between red wine and white wine

White wine is primarily made with white grapes, and the skins are separated from the juice before the fermentation process. Red wine is made with darker red or black grapes, and the skins remain on the grapes during the fermentation process.
