Mushroom Walk with Nathaniel Whitmore

1839 Abington Rd, North Abington Twp, PA 18414-9785

Free Event

Nathaniel Whitmore has spent years training with Native herbalists and studying Native American medicine.  He is regarded as one of the area's premier experts in the identification and use of wild plants and mushrooms.
During his walk we will learn about mushrooms and mushroom hunting, including edible species, poisonous species, medicinal species, where to look for mushrooms, and methods of mushroom identification. This walk will explore Lackawanna State Park in search of mushrooms in order to identify specimens found and learn of their uses. If weather doesn't cooperate and indoor program will be held.
