As part of the Summer Reading Adventure at the library, Master Gardeners Jess Hines and Norma Bozenmayer led a program called ‘Mushroom Madness.’ Adventurers dissected and examined mushroom parts and made mushroom spore prints. They teamed up to put plugs in a log to grow shitake mushrooms. The children also decorated a mushroom inspired flowerpot and put plants in it.
Did you know that mushrooms are made mostly of water? Or that the portobello, cremini, and button mushroom are all the same species at different stages of their growth?
Join the Summer Reading Adventurers at the library on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. during June and July. Call or visit the library to learn about all the programs available for youth and adults happening at the library this summer.
