This Valentine’s Day season, come learn about some (sometimes) red and white mushrooms: Russula!

There are hundreds of species of Russula in the Upper Midwest. While their colors often make them stand out on the forest floor, Russula is a neglected genus, and identifying the different species can be daunting. In this lecture, Tavis will teach us some basic identification skills to help sort out this wonderful group of mushrooms.

Tavis Lynch is an amateur mycologist from Northern Wisconsin. He has been studying our local fungi for over 40 years. Tavis is the author of “Mushroom Cultivation” (Quarto), “The Beginner’s Guide to Mushrooms” (Quarto), and “Grow Your Own Mushrooms” (Quarto). He is currently working on a two-volume book, “The Mushrooms of Wisconsin.” He teaches mycology classes in about 35 schools around the Upper Midwest and focuses most of his time on the study of the genus Russula.
