Major toxin types and their effects are described\, and a few case studies show how suspect fungi are identified.

He is a regular consultant for the British Columbia Drug and Poison Information Centre\, and various other agencies concerned with mushroom poisonings and fungi in human and animal health. He coauthored\, with Bryce Kendrick\, Oluna Ceska and Christine Roberts\, The Outer Spores: Mushrooms of Haida Gwaii published in 2012 based on a five-year study. \nThis workshop is free for Manitoba Mushroom Society members and Manitoba post-secondary students.
