COBB, Calif. – On Saturday, Nov. 10, the Friends of Boggs Mountain will be hosting a mushroom foray for beginners.
The event will feature Darvin DeShazer, co-founder and science advisor of the Sonoma County Mycological Association ( http://somamushrooms.org ), and chairman of the science department at St. Vincent High School in Petaluma.
A brief talk on mushroom collecting and etiquette will start at 10 a.m. at the tables across the main parking lot/kiosk, followed by a walk in the forest to hunt, collect and identify fungi.
Once a good variety of specimens have been collected, the group will return to the tables with their mushrooms which DeShazer will help identify.
Participants are advised to bring a sack lunch/drinks, rain gear, and to be prepared for the cold, wearing non-cotton layers, and water-resistant trousers.
Also recommended are knee pads, a pocket knife, a medium-sized basket, a cheap but new 1-inch paint brush to clean your mushrooms and a field guide by Sonoma resident and author David Arora, “All That the Rain Promises and More: A Hip Pocket Guide to Western Mushrooms,” available at bookstores and www.amazon.com .
The Boggs Mountain State Forest entrance is located off Highway 175, just one and a half miles north of Cobb Village, at the blue Fire Station/Boggs Mountain Forest sign.
Heavy rain will cancel the event; please check the Friends of Boggs Mountain Web site, http://boggsmountain.org , the day of the event.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – On Friday, Oct. 26, starting at about 7:30 p.m., Lakeport will experience the booming of a Civil War cannon being fired due to this year’s Bass Bowl having to be moved to Lakeport.
The game had to be moved due to some safety concerns with the Kelseyville High School stadium bleachers.
The cannon was a feature of last year’s Bass Bowl. It fired to open the game, at half time, to end the game and after each score.
Last year’s final was Clear Lake High, 7, and Kelseyville High, 3, so it fired just five times. But this year, much more scoring is expected, so the cannon could fire as many as 10 to 15 times.
Regardless of the length of the game, it will not fire after 10 p.m.
“Residents in the vicinity of the stadium should take precaution with their pets who might be sensitive to the loud booms of the cannon,” Bass Bowl Director Phil Smoley said. “It will be like New Year’s Eve or July 4 during the game.”
The cannon will be at the game courtesy of the California Historical Artillery Association.
“The Bass Bowl helped them with their ‘Civil War Days’ event last July, and in return, they bring an artillery team to the Bass Bowl. It makes the game much more entertaining, and it gives our local area a taste of living history,” Smoley said. “It is also a way for Lake County to commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War.”
This is the third year of the Bass Bowl. The series is tied 1 to 1.
Both communities are encouraged to attend the game, support their communities and watch the cannon fire.
