Mushrooms of Madeline Island

Wednesday, July 29th
7:00–8:15 PM
Madeline Island Museum

Speaker: Tavis Lynch, mushroom farmer and commercial mushroom forager

Tavis will discuss local mushrooms and their seasons, along with the specific trees that these mushrooms share.

Learn to identify 100 local edibles and about 300 local toxic species, and learn a few hard and fast rules.

Tavis will lead a hike through the woods on the Thursday after the evening presentation to point out how to identify local fungi/mushrooms on Madeline Island. The place and time for the hike will be announced at the lecture.

This program is made possible by the generous support of the Apostle Islands Area Community Fund.

The nature preserve lands are open to the public for hiking, skiing, berry-picking and hunting. MIWP is committed to education and advocacy — each summer we sponsor field trips and evening programs. Madeline Island is adjacent to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on the South Shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
