The most recent workshop will provide information on finding and identify ing mushrooms. Tonight, the Outdoor Program's Bam Manager Ed Fredette will give a free clinic on identifying and properly preparing mushrooms. Fredette said he has been collecting mushrooms to show to students at the clinic. "I’ll be talking on knowing what to look for ... how to prepare them ... how to safely eat them," Fredette said. On Saturday, a group of 15 people will travel to the Cascades to go mush room hunting. The lecture is free and starts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday's workshop costs $4 for transportation fees and lasts from 9 a m. to 3 p.m. Both the lecture and the workshop will start at the Outdoor Pro gram Bam, located at 18th Avenue and University Street. The Fall Interpretive Series began Nov. 1 with a campus tree walk, and it has included a workshop about animal tracks and signs. Fredette said the Saturday work shop is Filled, but students should keep an eye out for a follow-up trip. "It's been a very popular clinic," Fredette said.
