Identifying Local Fungi In Santa Ynez Valley

Join biologist and fungi expert Bob Cummings for a mushroom identification workshop at UC Sedgwick Reserve on Saturday, January 26.

Participants should meet at the Reserve studio at 9:00 a.m. for this three-hour program, which will entail some light walking to hunt for mushrooms, followed by a lecture.

Dr. Cummings has been collecting plants and fungi in the Santa Barbara area since the 1960s. For 30 years he has been a teacher of general botany and plant biology at Santa Barbara City College, where he was honored as "Faculty Lecturer" in 1992.

This program is sponsored by the Santa Ynez Valley Natural History Society and UC Sedgwick Reserve. It is free to Society members and Reserve docents; nonmembers pay $10. To register, call 686-1941.
