A Conversation With a Fungus Fanatic
North Carolina is home to over 2,000 fungal species, and the Piedmont is bursting with colorful and beautiful mushrooms. Join amateur mycologist Anna McHugh for a tour of North Carolina’s fungi, from the delicious to the deadly. Anna McHugh, a writer, mushroom hunter and mycological educator, currently works in marketing and content curation in Raleigh and has also worked in government, media relations, legal advocacy and in community and public radio. A longtime “mycophile,” she was the producer of the “Crazy About Mushrooms” documentary project and now leads mushroom walks in the Triangle area and beyond.
