Fall Mushroom Hunt Field Day
|
Sister Marie Kopin from Michigan Mushroom Hunters Club hosted a mushroom walk on our 80 acre property. Visitors brought their note books and dress for the weather!

Sister Mary was great! She had a great deal of knowledge to share. The most fun part was having everyone bring back the mushrooms they hunted for. We all found ~ 6 species of edible mushrooms, 2 medicinal, and 2 deadly.
