Ministers' Meeting Wednesday, February 13 Home of Shannon Iliescu General Meeting Wednesday, February 20, 7 pm Speaker: Walt Sturgeon
Walt Sturgeon presents: Just For the Smell of It, Mushroom Common Scents, a non-technical look at wild mushrooms from an olfactory perspective. His talk will include: 1) Using scents to clinch an identification, 2) How to properly check for a mushroom’s odor, 3) Sniffing subjectivity and the power of suggestion, and 4) Scent and memory. This program should be a reminder to check for an odor in your attempts to identify mushrooms as well as to appreciate the fragrance of a known species. At forays, he recommends checking a mushroom for its odor and then asking the question to others, “What’s this mushroom smell like to you?” The answer may surprise you and lead to a friendly debate.
