The Village Nature Series, a joint program between The Village Green and the Highlands Cashiers Land Trust (thanks to a generous grant from Cedar Creek Club), is offering Mushrooms 101 at the Village Green, 5:30 P.M. on Tuesday, June 25.
Join Lizza Bixby as she weaves a terrific journey around all things fungi!
In this one-hour presentation, Lizza will break the veil of mystery and briefly explain mushroom foraging in our area, at home mushroom growing, and how it can be great for your garden.
She will also cover some exciting myco-innovations sure to get you excited. Grab your boots and join us for this exciting mushroom discovery hour!
Lizza is planning to do a hands-on workshop type of presentation that allows people to learn how to grow mushrooms at home, and she will bring specimens to show off! She’s the former Director of Education at Mushroom Mountain, and is passionate about foraging, cultivating, and cooking mushrooms. Her life’s dream is to learn and share as much about the fungi kingdom with the world as possible. She believes that fungi are our future and is excited to share why!
Since the spring, residents and visitors to the Plateau have been able to participate in the monthly The Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and The Village Green-sponsored series of lectures. Visitors and residents learn about wildlife in the area and various features of their natural habitats. Previous presentations have included a focus on raptors, black bears, reptiles, the environment, and more.
The Village Nature Series begins at 5:30 P.M. on the last Tuesday of the month through September. It’s located at The Village Green Commons on Frank Allen Road. For a complete schedule, visit villagegreencashiersnc.com/village-nature-series.
