Last year’s Fungi Fundamentals event was so popular that we couldn’t cap it there. Christian returns to share his expertise and passion for Bay Area mushrooms in a brand-new session that’ll take you deeper into the fungi kingdom. If you missed part I, which focused on the science of mushrooms, we will send you a recording to catch up when you register for part II. 

This live, interactive event will cover everything you need to know about the Bay Area’s top mushrooms, from critical ID tips and look-alikes to flavor profiles and cooking ideas that will elevate your culinary game.

Here’s what this event has in spore for you:
