SUMMARY:March Meeting: Paul Kroeger presents "Darwin's Elves"
DESCRIPTION:Paul Kroeger has studied mushrooms for over thirty-five years and is a founding member of the Vancouver Mycological Society. He has been involved in many projects and studies about diverse aspects of mushrooms\, gaining knowledge about fungal ecology\, biochemistry of toxic\, hallucinogenic\, medicinal\, and edible mushrooms. Years of experience have created unique insights and understanding of fungal life-ways and interactions in temperate ecosystems. \nKroeger has many times served as President of the VMS and co-authored ‘The Outer Spores: Mushrooms of Haida Gwaii’ in 2012. He has worked at the University of British Columbia researching the biochemistry of medicinal mushrooms and is a major contributor to the mycological herbarium collections in UBC’s Beaty Biodiversity Museum. Paul is an entertaining\, knowledgeable speaker who gives illustrated talks throughout the Pacific Northwest on subjects such as general mycology\, fungal biology\, poisonous mushrooms\, magic mushrooms\, biology\, and the mycology of hot springs. \n“Darwin’s Elves”: Poisonous mushrooms and mushroom poisonings \nAn introduction to poisonous mushrooms and their effects is important for all those who are interested in mushrooms as a hobby. Major toxin types and their effects are described\, and a few case studies show how suspect fungi are identified. This presentation presents practical general guidelines for safely handling and preparing edible fungi\, and avoiding becoming another poisoning victim. Some surprising common causes of ‘mushroom poisoning’ are also discussed. \nDoors at 7\, Talk at 7:30\nAs always\, we would love to see your specimens at our monthly mushroom table for identification and admiration. Be sure to check out what fungal finds are at the March display.
