Homeschool Program: Nature Buddies Pre-Class, Fungus Fun! (11+)

Fungus Fun: For this class, we are going to learn all about the fascinating world of fungi and how important they are in our ecosystem. In this lesson we will learn the lifecycle and parts of a mushroom. We will also explore how mushrooms play a role in fairytales and folklore. Joining us is a special guest from the Minnesota Mycological Society to further our knowledge on different mushrooms you may find in the forest. $12 Per participant.
