I’m used to thinking of the fall as time for the Puget Sound Mycological Society’s big mushroom bash, but now there’s a spring event just in time for the first morels, a “Mushroom ‘May’nia fest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 3 at the Burke Museum. Organizers promise recipes, cultivation and cooking tips, family-friendly crafts, and answers to pressing foraging questions such as “How do I know if a mushroom is poisonous or not,”  and “Do I need a permit to harvest mushrooms in Washington state”?  More information here – and, while you’re at the Burke, you can visit the “World In Your Cup” coffee exhibit too.
