This month’s issue of Salt Magazine features a nice write-up about mushrooms and OMS Board Member Walt Sturgeon:

Britt A. Bunyard and Jay Justice have published a new book on all the Amanitas of North America – worth checking out if you’re interested in this fascinating genus. Orders can be placed at fungimag.com and questions can be posted there or sent directly to Britt at fungimag@gmail.com.
If you’re in the Columbus area and haven’t yet seen “Fantastic Fungi” (or if you have seen it and just can’t get enough), here’s one more opportunity. ** This is not an OMS event **
Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse in Columbus OH will be screening Fantastic Fungi on Saturday March 14th at 1:30 pm. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for a film Introduction by Te’Lario Watkins II from Tiger Mushroom Farms and mingle with reps from Friends of Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks to learn about mushroom hikes & other events!
More information on the event can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/185439222840184/
I thought I would share this very handy beginners key for the Boletes. It was given to me by Ernst Both some years ago and is organized in a clear logical way which I find to be very useful. – Jerry
