Mycological Society talks truffles March 9

Posted

The Olympic Peninsula Mycological Society is to hold the first monthly membership meeting of the 2016 season at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9 at at the Gardiner Community Center, 980 Old Gardiner Road. A donation of $5 is suggested for nonmembers to attend.

Kris Jacobson of Eugene, Oregon, is the featured speaker. She is a trusted expert in locating, identifying, harvesting, preserving, and enjoying wild and cultivated culinary truffles. She is to be accompanied by her current working truffle dog, Ilsa, according to the society.

On Feb. 28, 2013, Kris and Ilsa made Oregon agricultural history by discovering and harvesting the first cultivated Tuber melanosporum (Périgord) truffle in a Willamette Valley truffière.
