Our Annual
Winter Social will be held at the Greenfield Park Pavilion, at 2028 South 124th
Street, Milwaukee. If you haven't had a chance to show off your favorite ugly
holiday sweater or test out your Schweddy balls recipe, this is your chance! There
will be a membership "slide" show. Please bring a CD with your digital
mushroom photos to share with our members. Anyone can bring photos and they do
not need to be identified, the group will try to identify them for you. Please
bring an hors d'oeuvre, a favorite snack, or dish to share with our membership
before the slide show. | | Again,
as last year, rather than adding more volume to the landfill with disposable plates
and utensils, members are welcome to bring and use their own non-disposable cups,
plates and utensils. This is only a suggestion and paper plates, plastic dinner
utensils, and garbage bags will still be provided and at hand.
Hope to see you there. | |

Millman: "Uses of Fungi by Northern Peoples"
Author, globe trekker, raconteur,
and expert mycologist Larry Millman will travel from Cambridge, MA, to join us.
Millman will talk about the various ways northern indigenous people use mushrooms
- as fire starters, smudges, disinfectants, tobacco substitutes, but almost never
as food. The talk will include an introduction to ethnomycology (the cultural
uses of mushrooms), and various mushrooms important in
northern cultures.Larry
also will be signing copies of his fantastic new field guide to mushrooms (price
$16 at time of writing). | | ___________________________________________________________________ | Monday,
