Go & Show this week is the Illinois Mycological Association’s annual show on Sunday, Sept. 1, in Burnstein Hall at Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Here is the gist of the show:
This event will feature an exhibit featuring many local varieties of wild fungi. IMA members and mycologists will be available to chat with the public about mushrooms and give tips on identifying local fungi.
For those planning to attend, here are a few key points:
Bring your friends and family to enjoy an early autumn day learning about the wonders of fungi while basking in the beauty of nature at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Chicago Botanic Garden members do not need to preregister—they are invited to visit at any time. Nonmembers must preregister for a timed entry.
The show is free, though there is a fee for parking as well as admission at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.
For further information, please contact the Illinois Mycological Association at illinoismyco@gmail.com.

I would love to attend because there is much I need to learn, but the timing is tough for me. We’ll see.
