Susan Hopkins will be giving a four-day workshop at The Mannings (www.the-mannings.com) from October 18 to October 21. The biggest issue with doing a workshop on this process is having a supply of dried fungi to use for a group of people to experiment with. So we would like to enlist     the help of the club in finding dye fungi to donate to the workshop. If people could be alert at forays to the fungi on the attached list, I will take them and dry them for Susan for the workshop.                
             
We would really appreciate your help!
