State Fair Volunteers Needed!

A group of Minnesota Mycological Society volunteers pose in front of their mushroom display booth at the Minnesota State Fair. The display features labeled mushroom specimens arranged on white tiered platforms with brown cloth runners. Behind them hangs a banner reading "Minnesota’s Mushroom Club Est. 1899," surrounded by plants and educational materials.
