The Woodstock Library forum was to present award-winning photographer, writer, mycologist Frank Spinelli in an audio-visual talk about his latest book, Mushrooms Exposed on Saturday, August 26 from 5 to 6 p.m. The event has been canceled and plans are in the works to reschedule it at a later date.
The talk will follow a mycological trajectory from the earth’s creation to the fruiting of backyard mushrooms: their botany, history, identification and edibility, accompanied by studio photographs and unique illustrations.
His first sold-out book on mushrooms The Glorious Mushroom, was published in 2006. His other photography books include Burning Man: Into a 20th Century Utopia (2000) and Jamaica Ya Mon!, published this year. Spinelli has written a novel, The Lights of Bensonhurst (2021) and is currently working on a book of photographs of Cuba.
The Library forums are made possible by The Friends of the Woodstock Library and is the longest running cultural affairs program in the Hudson Valley.
Join the family!
