Membership Meetings:

Monthly meetings often have noted mycological speakers. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the months September through June, excluding March, which is the month of our annual meeting. The time is 7:30 PM, and the location is the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is located at 3501 NE 41st St. in Seattle (driving directions).

You may come 20 minutes early to peruse a fine selection of nature books and field guides which are usually available, or to bring in mushrooms you have found to be identified. There is a brief period of announcements and business which is followed by the presentation.

*  These meetings are open to the public.

Presentation Schedule:

Tuesday, June 10, 2008, at 7:30 PM:

We will be hosting Dr. Adolf Ceska and Oluna Ceska, respected Canadian botanists and rare plant specialists, who are based in Victoria, British Columbia. They will be speaking on “Four years of fungi survey on Observatory Hill in Victoria, BC,” a special place with three major forest “ecosystems”—Garry oak (Oregon White Oak), old-growth Douglas fir, and Western Red Cedar—containing an incredible diversity of both common and rare fungal species. Adolf is a professional botanist who retired from the British Columbia Conservation Data Center in 2002. Oluna is a recognized authority on fungi and algae. They are members of the South Vancouver Island Mycological Society, are founding members of the Native Plant Society of BC, and contribute to the Eflora website. They operate Ceska Geobotanical Consulting in Victoria and were involved in several regional invasive plant projects including Eurasian milfoil and, more recently, carpet burweed.

Would members with last names beginning with L–Z please bring a plate of refreshments for sharing after the meeting.
