SUMMARY:BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE WALK | MATTHEW JOHNSON
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY 2:30-3:45PM – LOCATION: CAPE PERPETUA VISITOR’S CENTER\nMatthew Johnson: I first became interested in mushrooms in the mid-80’s. Around 1989\, I was fortunate enough to take the Mushroom Biology class from Freeman Rowe at Lane Community College. Since that time I have helped set up and organize the Mt. Pisgah Mushroom show\, founded by Freeman. (34 years!) You can find me in the “Poisonous and Edible” booth during the show. I have been involved with the Cascade Mycological Society (CMS) since it’s inception and I am currently the Vice President and Field Trip Coordinator. I lead several mushroom field trips for members each year and I have been doing the same at the Yachats mushrooms show since 2007 (16 years). My wife\, a former CMS president\, and I are attorneys in Eugene and our teen daughter is a high school senior and a sometimes mushroom enthusiast.
