We have an exciting NEW Winter Luncheon venue this year! The 1918 Exchange building at Jefferson Barracks served as a commissary store for soldiers stationed at Jefferson Barracks. After World War II, it was decommissioned and used for a variety of purposes to support the post until acquired by the Missouri Civil War Museum. Admission to the museum is included for all during the luncheon. Yay!
Britt Bunyard will be our speaker this year. Britt is the founder, Publisher, and Editor-in-Chief of the mycology journal Fungi.
Come enjoy the afternoon with some fungi friends, tasty potluck, silent auction and an excellent speaker. Bring a dish to share and don’t forget to make a label listing all ingredients to alert people with dietary preferences. BYOB, wine will not be provided this year but feel free to bring your own. The club will provide coffee and tea. Ice and water will also be available. Don’t forget to bring your own place settings!
Renee Bomanz will be organizing our Silent Auction again this year. Please consider donating items to one of the highlights of the day. Highest bidder wins so don’t forget to bring cash or a check.
This event has the largest number of MOMS members and their guest attending. Space is limited to 100. No one will be admitted without a reservation. At the luncheon, we’ll check you in as you arrive. Volunteers will be needed to set up at 11am. If you’d be so kind, on the form, please indicate your willingness to help.

Attendance: Members and non-members are welcome
Registration: Not required
Fee: No charge

Britt Bunyard, editor of the mycology journal "Fungi", will be giving a special presentation on “Mycorrhizotopia: Fungi are the Puppet Masters of the World”. Come learn about plants and their mushroom partners, the mycorrhizal fungi. Britt’s presentation is for general audiences, and does not require prior scientific knowledge. The discussion will cover the latest understanding of how plants grow. In most, if not all, cases, plants enter into obligate partnerships with mushrooms and other fungi. Put another way, some fungi farm plants for a living. Find out why most of our treasured edible mushrooms are not able to be cultivated and how this knowledge will increase your chances of success in finding them in the forest! This special presentation is open to the public and is free of charge. It will be on Feb 25 at 2 pm, Missouri Botanical Garden Monsanto building 1st floor lobby, 4500 Shaw Blvd, St Louis 63110. For more information email or call Stephanie Keil listed above.
