Each month the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum presents a speaker on one subject or another. Year to year the most popular has been local naturalist John Davis talking about wild mushrooms.
This year there will be a twist: Davis will concentrate on edibles and there will be a panel discussion on preservation and cooking locally gathered mushrooms.
The presentation will be a 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16.
"This is a wonderful area for gathering wild mushrooms," explained Joanna Grammon, recently retired editor of the Skamania County Pioneer.
She will participate in the panel discussion, along with museum board president Jim Price. Combined they have logged more than 40 years traipsing area woods, hunting the tasty morsels, and then creating interesting dishes. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own recipes and suggestions.
Davis is a retired biologist who worked for the US Fish & Wildlife Service at several hatcheries in Washington and in Portland with Ecological Services. His presentation is part of the ongoing series of monthly talks at the museum called, "Sundays on the Gorge."
Davis said one of his life goals is to photograph the plants, fungi, lichens, mosses, animals, butterflies, moths and other insects found in this area. He enjoys sharing information with anyone who would like to learn more about the great diversity of plants, animals and geology of the Columbia River Gorge.
The Sunday afternoon presentation will be in the DeGroote Theatre at the Interpretive Center Museum. Attendance is free with paid admission.
