Join award-winning author and forager Langdon Cook for a virtual stroll through the woods in search of the Pacific Northwest’s best edible fungi of spring. From morels to porcini to oyster mushrooms (and many more), Langdon will present slides of local delicacies in their habitat as well as in finished dishes—just in time for the beginning of another year of mushroom hunting! Q&A and book signing to follow.
