Ben Anderson | Mushrooms of Tilden Botanic Garden
1002 Valley Life Sciences Building, UC Berkeley
Monday, April 27 | 7:30 - 9:30 pm
How is the mushroom diversity on 10 acres of land surrounded by forest, densely planted with trees and shrubs brought in from all over the state of California? Ben Anderson will take you on a tour of mushrooms at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden (Tilden Botanic Garden) with a special focus on mycorrhizal associations.
Ben Anderson is a horticulturist with a career in public gardens spanning several major institutions across California. His close work with trees and shrubs brought him into contact with his favorite non-plant subject: fungi. He has spent the last 16 years in the East Bay, combing the parks for new and interesting mushrooms.
If you've found mushrooms you'd like to identify, bring those along. Entrance to VLSB is on northwest entrance, under the stairs on the right (see details below). Doors open at 7:30. Meeting starts promptly at 8:00.
