Mycological Society to Host Taylor Lockwood Talk

Posted

The October meeting of Southwest Washington Mycological Society, normally held on the first Tuesday of each month, has been moved to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, for a special presentation from Taylor Lockwood. 

To accommodate the anticipated large turnout, the location for this meeting has also been changed to Transalta Commons 105c at Centralia College, at the intersection of West Pear Street and South Washington Avenue.

Lockwood is coming to Centralia on his final tour with a show covering highlights of his 34-year mushroom adventure career, with many new photos since the last tour in 2014, and new animations of beautiful and bioluminescent mushrooms.

He is the author of two books and several video programs, including two popular educational mushroom DVDs, “The Mushroom Identification Trilogy,” and “The Good, the Bad, and the Deadly.” 



He has been published by the U.S. Postal Service, New York Times, Washington Post, National Geographic, National Wildlife Federation Magazine, Scholastic, Scientific American and numerous other publications.

As with all SWMS meetings, this presentation is free and open to the public. Small donations to cover the cost of this presentation will be accepted, but will not be solicited.
