Morel and Oyster Mushroom Workshops to Begin in March
Certification is available for those who sell
AMES, Iowa – To legally sell morel and oyster mushrooms in Iowa, sellers must complete a certification workshop that covers identifying morels and oyster, as well as distinguishing between true and false morels.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering two online workshops on Saturday, March 20, and April 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. Participants only need to participate in one of the sessions to receive certification.
“People can be poisoned by eating misidentified mushrooms,” said Lina Rodriquez Salamanca, plant pathology diagnostician with the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic at Iowa State University. “By the end of the workshops, participants will recognize true edible morel and oyster mushrooms.”
