Join us on the trails at Opus 40 for a venture into tree identification as we explore the spring landscape. Let&#39;s study the signs of seasonal change together and learn about the indicator species we see in northeastern forests. We&#39;ll get up close and personal (but respectful), and learn to document Fungi, Plants, and Animals! Luke Sarrantonio grew up in Rosendale, New York, spending much of his childhood exploring the local landscape and ecological features, but it wasn&rsquo;t until attending university at SUNY ESF (College of Environmental Science and Forestry) that he truly discovered Fungi. He has had a dynamic career in Mycology (15+ years), developing ecology and cultivation-based educational programs, organizing an annual mushroom and arts festival (For the Love of Fungi), community projects, and a small line of functional mushroom products (under the name Mycophilic). His major goal is to be an accessible resource for people who want to learn more about this fascinating group of life. His most recent projects include an outdoor mushroom farm and teaching space with his partner Kaya, at their farm in Accord, NY (Eat Flowers Farm), and a community project called Eat More Mushrooms. He also offers mentorships and private classes.
