From Michael Nerrie:

There is a free ‘Mushroom Art’ event for kids happening this Saturday, July 12, from 10 to 11:30 am at the pavilion at Distant Hill Nature Trail. 

Melany Kahn, author of the wonderful children’s book, ‘Mason Goes Mushrooming’, will be reading her book to the kids, followed by an interactive Q&A session and hands-on mushroom art projects.

She will have a selection of wild and cultivated mushrooms available for the kiddos to learn to identify. They will be able to touch, smell, and observe the mushrooms up close, then use them as still-life models for their own illustrations and artwork with watercolors.

There will also be a clay art session where the children can shape and paint their own clay mushroom to take home.
