LAMS Wild Mushroom Fair poster

The Los Angeles Mycological Society (LAMS) Wild  Mushroom Fair is scheduled for February 14, 2010 at the L.A. County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. The LA Times (which is quite good at giving coverage to mushroom-related stories and events) says:

Events include: a cooking demonstration; mushroom growing demonstrations; wild mushroom displays; books, collectibles  and art; children’s activities; a film screening; and wild mushroom identification.

Plus, mycologist Paul Stamets will speak about “How Mushrooms Can Save the Planet” — a discussion of how the biological properties of fungi help heal the environment.
