The mushrooms that we see are only the tip of the forest iceberg. Mushroom fruiting bodies are connected to a huge underground network of sometimes visible, sometimes microscopic threads of mycelium traveling from tree to tree. In this presentation, we will dig deep into forest soils to unravel the essential functions of fungi in forest ecosystems and how wildlife play a role. Come with a curiosity for fungi and leave with a new appreciation and intrigue for the processes happening beneath our feet.
Join us for this FREE presentation by OSU Extension Forester Lorelle Sherman, which will be followed by an interactive Q&A session! Once you register, you will have the opportunity to pre-order* from a selection of unique mushroom-themed cocktails from Divine Distillers, as well as two specially-prepared buffet dinners from The Inferno Kitchen! Thanks to Divine Distillers, 10% of all pre-order proceeds will be donated to the Luckiamute Watershed Council!

About the Speaker:
Lorelle Sherman

Lorelle is a bird nerd, wild foods forager, and forest ecologist. Foraging for mushrooms and plants for over ten years inspired Lorelle to study the forest ecosystems she was spending her time in. Merging her interests, she now studies the interconnections between forests, fungi, and wildlife. Lorelle studied Wildlife Biology at the University of Vermont and Forest Ecology while at Oregon State University. Today, she serves as the OSU Extension Forester for Benton, Linn, and Polk Counties where she hopes to inspire people to connect with and steward the land.
