Christian Schwarz is a Minister of Science at the Fungus Federation, and leads a pack of 30 novice mushroom-hunters through the mixed conifer forests at the eastern edge of UC Santa Cruz’s campus. They’re trying to find display specimens for the Federation’s 38th annual Fungus Fair. The Fair is a 3-day event that merges mycology with culinary demonstrations, guest speakers and the basics of identification.
