SUMMARY:Mushroom Mania

Bartlett\, as she presents “Mushroom Mania”\, an exploration of the fascinating world of mushrooms. Hilary will delve into the history of mushrooms as food and medicine and their vital role in the ecosystem. Discover how these remarkable fungi support plant\, forest\, and human health through colorful photographs and commentary.  In her presentation\, Hilary will also introduce her new book\, “Mushroom Mania”\, featuring stunning watercolor portraits of Maine’s wild mushroom species\, delicious recipes\, and practical tips for growing mushrooms at home.

Hilary turned to mushroom hunting in rural Maine\, later shifting from scientific research to an art career after her daughter was born. Her award-winning paintings have been exhibited in galleries in Maine and Santa Fe. She also taught microbiology for 11 years at the University of Maine Augusta. Her first book\, The Thistle Inn: A Wee Bit of Scotland in Maine\, was published in 2020. \nThis free event has limited seating\, and advanced registration is required.
