This introductory class will dive into how mushrooms have been a delightful delicacy, treasured and revered by Emperors and Kings throughout the ages because of the many health and nutritional benefits provided. Lareina DePalma will introduce you to the folklore and history of mushrooms, important health benefits and how to prepare, and wrap up by touching upon several methods of growing mushrooms in/outdoors which will be on display.
