Join Cory Heyman, of Mighty Yough Foods, for this introduction to the incredible world of mushrooms - from the role of fungi historically as the first micro-cell organisms on land to the future role of mushrooms and mushroom mycelium for solving problems such as food scarcity, construction materials, robotics, natural pesticides, and industrial clean-up. We will discuss mushroom biology and reproduction; historical interaction between people and mushrooms; the nutritional and health benefits of mushrooms; and strategies for mushroom foraging. We will also talk about the most common mushrooms for cooking, their tastes, and their health benefits.
This event is part of The Ruth Enlow Library's Adult/Teen Summer Reading Club 2026: Unearth a Story programming.
