Sunriver Mushroom Field Trip

Join us on a search for wild and edible mushrooms led by Christian Schwarz, mushroom identification expert and author of Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast! On this field trip you’ll receive an introduction to fungi diversity and learn how to identify different types of mushrooms using field guides and tools such as the iNaturalist app. You’ll also learn how to ‘hunt’ mushrooms and put your new skills to use by collecting specimens for the next day’s mushroom show.

Sex, Death and Insanity in the Kingdom Fungi – Sunriver

  • Sunriver SHARC Aquatics & Recreation Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

From psychedelic cicada assassins to Chernobyl-colonizing molds, Christian Schwarz will provide an insider’s look at the vast range of bizarre lifestyles found in Kingdom Fungi. Christian Schwarz is a naturalist currently living in Santa Cruz, the land of milk (caps) and honey (mushrooms). He is coauthor of Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast, and now spends his time photographing, teaching about, collecting, and researching mushrooms. Fungi satisfy his curiosity with their seemingly endless forms – from the grotesque to the bizarre to the sublimely beautiful. Besides dabbling in mushroom taxonomy, he loves fish, plants, nudibranchs, moths, and dragonflies. He is a passionate advocate for citizen science, especially the iNaturalist community.
