Despite the unusual dry August and September, Puget Sound Micology Society still managed to mount the
Mushroom Show this year. A lot more people, much less mushrooms. Instead of hosting it in its own venue: U.W. Center for Urban Horticulture, the show is at Mountaineers Club at 7700 Sandpoint Way NE. Other than vendors and artists, there were two lovely chefs dishing up various recipes nonstop to distribute to the queued-up visitors. I especially like the egg dish by
Kathy Casey. I went to all 4 lectures (repeated at different times), 2 by
Tom Volk from Wisconsin, and searching mushroom in Thailand, Nepal and China by
Taylor Lockwood and Urban Foraging by
Curt Haney from California. Some of Lockwood's mushrooms photos are unearthly beautiful as these two found on his website.
