Join us on April 13th, as Dr. Ryan Feldman presents: A Fun-Guide to Poisonous Fungus Amongus and the GOTTA PICCEM Poisonous Mushroom Game

Spring Greetings, fellow nerdlings!! The weather is warming up, and we're starting to spend more time outside, allowing more interactions with our natural surroundings. Foraging sure is fun but also very important to do safely, so be sure to mark your calendars and tell your friends about our upcoming, interactive event!! 

Join us for a lecture on Wisconsin's poisonous fungi, foraging safety, and Wisconsin mushroom poisoning fast facts, coupled with a poisonous mushroom game to be played after!!

Dr. Ryan Feldman is the author of the rhyming STEM children's book Poisonous Fungus Amongus. He is a clinical toxicologist who studies and treats poisonings, including those caused by mushrooms. He has authored more than 50 clinical research papers on poisoning, with work featured in The New York Times and Science.org. In his work, he helps doctors, public health experts, and poison centers treat poisonings and understand which mushrooms are safe - and which ones definitely are not. In his free time, he hosts the toxicology podcast The Poison Lab and is the creator of the poisonous mushroom-themed card game GOTTA PICCEM. His work focuses on making science fun, memorable, and easy to understand. Through his research, teaching, and creative projects, Ryan hopes to spark curiosity about the natural world while helping people learn how to explore it safely.
