Join us at the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) on Saturday, Aug. 5 at 1 p.m. for a Mushroom Talk with mycologist, Briana Boaz, who will speak about the wonderful world of fungi from yeast and chanterelles to zombie-inducing cordyceps. You will have the opportunity to receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the new exhibit, Mushrooms: Keys to the Kingdom Fungi.
Mushrooms: Keys to the Kingdom Fungi is an exhibit vividly portraying the intriguing lives and important roles of fungi in our environment. The exhibit is based around 30 photographs of mushrooms (the fruiting bodies of fungi) in the wild, taken by Northern California plants people and naturalists, John Whittlesey and Jennifer Jewell.
Mushrooms will be on display through Sunday, Sept. 24. General admission is $10 (adult), $8 (military or senior), $7 (student), and $5 (children between the ages 6 and 12). The museum offers free admission to Museum Association members and children under the age of five. Additionally, parking is free, and the museum is accessible to persons with disabilities.
