WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On August 17 at 1 pm, the Clark Art Institute's Andrea Puccio, director of the library, and Terri Boccia, collections development librarian, lead a tour of rare books in the Clark library's collection featuring mushrooms. 

 

The workshop takes place in the scholars' seminar room, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

Jan Rolin from Mycoterra Farm (South Deerfield, Massachusetts) teaches participants about the mushroom lifecycle and how to harvest their own mushrooms using a grow-at-home kit. Learn how mushrooms can help us both environmentally and physically as you discover how to pick, store, and cook the mushrooms you grow.
