T-Shirts
There were many fine entries in the t-shirt contest: the
drawing below, by our secretary Joyce Gross, was the one
selected for our mushroom club t-shirt. Great job, Joyce!
Bookstore
We highly recommend two places to buy your books. The best
place is the excellent nature bookstore at Beechwood
Farms Nature Reserve, our headquarters. They have
a wide variety of different types of nature books. Mushrooms,
birds, and butterflies, all can be found there. There
is nothing like picking the book up in your hands and browsing
to know whether it is the right book for you.
If Beechwood Farms doesn't have a book in stock and can't
order it, we suggest that you use our site to contact Amazon.com.
The Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club in association
with Amazon.com makes it easy to buy books on the web,
