04/18/2019 12:01 AMThe Essex Land Trust brings “the mushroom detective,” Dr. Terry Doyle, to teach about the “bad actors” and edible mushrooms on Tuesday, April 23 at 7 p.m. at Essex Town Hall, 29 West Avenue.
A Canadian now living in Killingworth, Dr. Doyle is a research chemist who has worked in the pharmaceutical industry. After being introduced to mushroom hunting by a microbiologist friend, he has been collecting and eating mushrooms since 1975.
Doyle’s goal is to tell people how to avoid killing themselves.
“With mushrooms, there’s always more than meets the eye,” he says. While it may sound drastic, wild mushrooms are a very different beast, when compared to the common supermarket varieties.
