Show and Tell

Culinary Historians of Chicago

Show and Tell Like the “Show and Tell” of our school days, show us what you have to offer that is mushroom related. If not, just join us to hear the collectors’ stories. Many things can trigger memories or lead to the discovery of forgotten history or unique cultures and customs: – A photo, letter, or postcard discovered in an old family album that re-opened childhood memories and family history. – A unique mushroom flea market find that led you to research and discover culture and lifestyles of other times or places. – A collection of “mushroom stuff” from your travels that you have grown to treasure. – Mushrooming as a hobby that has become a passion and has taught you something you’d like to share with others. – A restaurant menu offering a mushroom-centric menu. These are all treasures, not necessarily in the financial sense, but invaluable as historical artifacts or keys to a wealth of memories and learning. Whether or not you have a story to tell, please join us to learn the wide ranging histories and interests of our community members and their amazing experiences. If you have something you’d like to present, please email prior to the meeting. Otherwise please come with your favorite and we will try to fit you in. If you have any questions, please direct them to Illinois Mycological Association [e-mail]. Recorded via Zoom on August 1, 2022 IllinoisMyco.org
