Walnut Creek Preserve Speaker Series: Edible Mushrooms of the Southeastern US
February 15 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Come learn about edible mushrooms in the Southeast! This talk will cover the basics of mushroom ecology and identification and will focus on some of the best edible species that can be foraged in our area.
Todd Elliott’s studies in biodiversity and interrelationships in nature have taken him to remote corners of the world to explore tropical rainforests, deserts, temperate forests, beaches, and high mountains on six continents. He is particularly interested in edible and medicinal mushrooms and plants and their importance to humans. Todd is an author of the Timber Press field guide Mushrooms of the Southeast and has published academic literature on various aspects of fungal ecology and taxonomy. Todd received his undergraduate degree in interpretive natural history from Warren Wilson College (USA) and his PhD in ecology from the University of New England (Australia).
