of our 60th anniversary

with fun and fanfare.

Garden House at Shoup Park in Los Altos

This Meeting is for members only!

We are starting our celebration

All Mushrooms are Magical:

Experiencing the Phantasmagorical Realm

of Fungi

With Ken Litchfield

We will learn about many of our favorite local Bay Area and Northern California mushrooms and their culinary, herbal/medicinal, dye and psychoactive properties and uses.

Ken will discuss their healing properties for human health and also their mycoremediation properties for healing the earth and building healthy soils. He will share easy to learn techniques he has implemented in woodland, garden and lab situations.

Ken Litchfield has been the Chair of the Cultivation Committee of the Mycological Society of San Francisco for over 30 years. During that time he he led a team of mushroom cultivation enthusiasts to institute the mushroom society's first mushroom garden at Randall Museum.
