SUMMARY:Beechwood Lecture: Mushroom Hunting - Summer Session
DESCRIPTION:Mushroom Hunting: Summer Session\nWednesday August 20\, 2025 | 1:15- 2:45 PM\nBeechwood Center | 44 Beach Street | No Kingstown\, RI 02852\n \nOn August 20\, 2024 from 1:15 to 2:45\, join Ryan Bouchard and Emily Schmidt from the Mushroom Hunting Foundation at the Beechwood Center for Life in North Kingstown\, RI to learn about mushrooms. \nMany Rhode Islanders are surprised to learn how many native wild mushrooms species are not only safe to eat but incredibly delicious. Seeking them out is perhaps the best hobby on Earth\, combining fascinating science\, outdoor adventure and truly amazing food experiences. Ryan and Emily’s slideshow of all-local photography will provide professional guidance and explain the science and the safety rules of mushroom hunting. We will take a closer look at some species they consider “safe for beginners” to identify and cook with. \nRyan T Bouchard is the author and photographer of the influential book Gourmet Mushrooms of the Northeast 2019. Emily (Schmidt) Bouchard created the groundbreaking instructional video series In the Weeds with Emily Schmidt. Together they created The Mushroom Hunting Foundation and have educated thousands toward safely enjoying America’s incredible wild foraging. \nThis lecture  series is offered by Beechwood Life Center and was founded in collaboration with URI Master Gardeners and RIWPS. Master Gardeners receive education credits for attending. \nThe program is free and open to the public.  \nRegistration is required. \nTo Register: Contact the Volunteer/Program Coordinator at The Beechwood Center for Life Enrichment –  401-268-1594 or malyward@ northkingstownri.gov  \n\nRegistration is open for this lecture only and not for October’s lecture.\nPlease note:  Although the Beechwood Garden programs are offered to members and the public\, if you have not attended past lectures and/or registered your contact information with the Beechwood Center in the last three (3) years\, you may need to provide an updated information form.  The form will be provided by Beechwood Staff at the time of the lecture.
