How to Banish Evil Spirits: Uses of Fungi by Northern Peoples,

Book Signing and Foray with Lawrence Millman

Presentation: Explorer-author-mycologist Lawrence Millman will talk about the various ways northern indigenous people use mushrooms- as fire-starters, as smudges, as disinfectants and as tobacco substitutes, but almost never as food . The talk will include a show and tell display of the aforementioned mushrooms as well as an introduction to ethnomycology (the cultural use of mushrooms). It will begin with a demonstration of how the Siberian Chukchi use polypores to rid their homes of evil spirits. Don’t miss this painlessly informative event!

Larry's latest book "Fascinating Fungi of New England" has just been published. Larry believes that it is the first guide to be devoted exclusively to New England species. And, the illustrations are lovely. He will have copies available and will certainly be happy to sign one for you.
