Mushroom Identification and Photography

Explore the amazing world of woodland fungi and the important role they play in Escarpment ecosystems. Learn about what to look for in the wonderful diversity of mushrooms you may encounter on your next Bruce Trail hike. The webinar includes mushroom anatomy, how to photograph mushrooms, mushroom families, examples from select families, and poisonous mushrooms.

Presented by: Louise Langlais
Louise has been interested in wild mushrooms since she was a young child but has become quite obsessed with the hobby for the past 20 years or so. It’s fun to learn new species and to be on the lookout for mushroom sightings while out and about in the great outdoors. Mushrooms are not only incredibly photogenic but are also a fascinating and important part of our environment! In addition to hunting for mushrooms, she also leads hikes for the Bruce Trail Conservancy and snowshoe outings for the Five Winds Backcountry Ski Club.
