Bellevue University John B. Muller Administrative Building: Symposium Room

Nebraska is home to a wide variety of mushrooms. While there are thousands of different types of mushrooms in the state, this presentation focuses on the most common edible species found and foraged in Nebraska. It is important to note that wild mushrooms should never be consumed unless properly identified, as there are poisonous species that can make you sick. With that said, let’s explore the fascinating and flavorsome world of wild edible mushrooms in Nebraska.
