Learn everything you wanted to know- and then some- at the 40th Annual Fungus Fair at the Livermore Hall of Science.  Eat edible mushrooms, watch culinary demonstrations and learn about poisonous mushrooms.  There will also be lectures, art projects and Don’t forget to BYOM (Bring Your Own Mushrooms) because mysologists (mushroom scientists) will be on hand to identify unknown specimens.
