Taylor Lockwood, Mushroom Photographer - Tonight

We are very pleased to have Taylor Lockwood as our October speaker with his fabulous slide show. In September 2007 he will release his second book, Chasing the Rain: My Treasure Hunt for the World’s Most Beautiful Mushrooms. It captures the essence of his passionate hunt and gives us insight into the diversity and love of fungi around the world. To get the flavor of his book, you can download a couple of chapters of the book as pdfs from http://www.kingdomoffungi.com/a.pages/CTR.Book.php Taylor will sell his book at the meeting; it retails for $29.95. This meeting will NOT be held at our usual meeting place. We are trying out a new site on the South side, which can accommodate more attendees: the Lake Katherine Nature Center.
