HOLDERNESS — Join Lakes Region Conservation Corps member Moses for an introduction to the wonders of fall fungi on Friday, Sept. 11, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., at Squam Lakes Association. Participants will explore the fungi of Belknap Woods and learn how to identify characteristics that help classify certain fungal families, as well as the safest to forage.

Participants who wish to take home fungi should bring a mesh bag or basket to hold the mushrooms. Any container should have holes, which are important as the group moves through the woods harvesting fungi and spreading spores, allowing for the distribution of the species through the forest. Participants should also bring water, snacks, hand sanitizer, and adequate clothing for the weather, as well as a facemask.

Registration for the program is required by visiting squamlakes.org or calling 603-968-7336. All ages are welcome.
