Evergreene Graphics sponsors “Mushroom Musings” with Friends of Rogers

SHERBURNE - Join Friends of Rogers and the Mid-York Mycological Society at 10 a.m. on October 1 for fun with fungi. Conditions permitting, participants will walk along the trails of Rogers Center to find wild specimens in their native habitats. The morning may also include a presentation on mushroom identification and their role in agriculture, industry, medicine, and nature. It is advised that participants dress for the weather and bring any recently-collected mushrooms for identification.
“We are very excited to be hosting the Mid-York Mycological Society,” said Sarah Freedman, environmental educator. “They will provide unique insight and guidance for budding mycologists seeking to learn more about the fascinating world of spores, molds, and fungus.”
According to the North American Mycological Society, there are over 80 affiliated clubs in the United States, Canada and Mexico. These groups are committed and dedicated to the promotion of scientific and educational activities related to fungi. These societies encourage sustainable use of mushrooms as a resource and endorse responsible mushroom collecting that does not harm fungi or habitats.
“We are extremely grateful to Evergreene Graphics for partnering with us,” said Simon Solomon, executive director. “Since 2011, when Friends of Rogers saved Rogers Environmental Education Center from closing, we have relied on the generosity of local businesses like Evergreene Graphics to support community activities, allowing this vital resource to be preserved – and to flourish.”
Advance registration is highly encouraged, and starts at $2 for members or $3 for non-members; call (607) 674-4733 or email env.educator@FriendsofRogers.org to register.
Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers educational programs for all ages. Seasonal hours are from 10 am to 4:30 pm Wednesday through Saturday, and from 11 am to 3 pm on Sunday. For more information, call (607) 674-4733 or visit www.friendsofrogers.org.
