We will conclude the meeting with updates and announcements from CCP members.

Presenter Bios:

Susannah Goldston is an Environmental Specialist for Chatham Soil & Water Conservation District with a background in natural resources conservation, sustainable agriculture, environmental remediation, and geology. She grew up in Chatham County exploring the creeks and woods and considers herself a hobby naturalist — always observing. In 2010, she found her first patch of morels, sparking her wild mushroom obsession. Every chance she gets, she’s looking for new species to photograph and identify. Her lofty goal is to be able to go out into the wild and answer the question “What is this?”

Laura Stewart is the owner of Haw River Mushrooms located in Saxapahaw, NC, a family farm specializing in hardwood mushrooms that grows over 400 pounds of shiitake, lions mane, oyster, cinnamon cap and other seasonal mushrooms each week in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment. Her mushrooms are sold at Chapel Hill, Eno, Greensboro Curb, and Durham Farmers’ Market and to chefs throughout the Triangle and Triad. She is also an instructor for the Wild Mushroom Safety Course which allows foragers to sell mushrooms to chefs. You can learn more about her work at their website.

CCP Steering Committee: Catherine Deininger, Brooke Massa, Debbie Roos, Margaret Sands, Allison Weakley.
