Topic: Mycophagy – Tales from the Mushroom Trail

Join author Langdon Cook for a “patch- to-plate” tour of his award-winning book, The Mushroom Hunters, which The Wall Street Journal calls “a rollicking narrative…delivering vivid and cinematic scenes on every page.” Travel to some of the  most famous patches on the continent in search of the most sought-after fungi for the table, meeting the pickers, buyers, and chefs who make this the largest all-cash business in North America. Q&A and book signing to follow.
