Mushrooms of Yolo County and Beyond!
Yolo Basin Foundation’s Flyway Nights speaker series will host Dr. Mike Davis on Thursday, January 4, at 7 p.m. His talk, “Mushrooms of Yolo County and Beyond,” will discuss commonly encountered mushrooms in gardens, landscapes, and wild areas of northern California, including how they are identified, the countless ways they are essential to life on earth, and why they occur in specific areas. Facts and fiction of mushroom lore will be intertwined in the presentation. Emphasis will be placed on species commonly encountered in urban areas and those potentially toxic to humans and pets. Mike Davis is a Professor Emeritus of Plant Pathology from University of California at Davis. Mike’s career focused on the study of diseases of citrus, vegetables, and field crops and practical applications of disease management measures. He has always had an interest in mushrooms and taught courses in mushroom identification, cultivation, and phylogeny. He is first author of “Field Guide to Mushrooms of Western North America” published in 2012. Flyway Nights is a monthly speaker series highlighting environmental issues, natural history of Northern California wildlife, and current research topics in conservation. Yolo Basin Foundation hosts Flyway Nights the first Thursday of the month from November to April at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters, 45211 Chiles Road. A $5 donation to support the Foundation’s wetland education programs is suggested. Yolo Basin Foundation members are free.
