The Texas Mycological Society is pleased to announce that our 24th annual Texas Mushroom Foray will be held in Taos, New Mexico, August 18-20, 2000. Be sure to specify that you are with the Mushroom Group in order to get our special rate. The hotel has large rooms and a lovely pool. Adjacent to the Motel is an RV park with a Recreation Room and complete kitchen where we will display and cook mushrooms, and hold our evening programs.
Many fine restaurants are nearby.
We will be foraging into the Sangre de Christo mountains around Taos and Red River, where Boletus edulis is found at the higher elevations. Many other mushrooms may also be found at that time of year. Chef Carlo Gislimberti will prepare the banquet at his Villa Fontana Restaurant. Carlo has been knighted in Italy for his outstanding cooking, and his restaurant has been listed among the top 5 Northern Italian restaurants in America. He is listed on the Culinary Institute's 100 Best Chefs of the Century.
