Mushroom open house

Can't wait for the annual Mushroom Festival this autumn? Then you'll definitely want to visit the Woodlands at Phillips, 1020 Kaolin Rd., which is celebrating its second anniversary by holding an open house on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
All day long there will be a mushroom growing exhibit, with whites, crimini/portabella, oyster, maitake, shiitake, royal trumpet and pompom varieties.
From 10 a.m. to noon chef Kurt Jacobson will be in the kitchen cooking Phillips Mushrooms and Phillips Gourmet products; yes, there will be samples!
At 1 p.m. mycologist Tina Ellor will be giving a seminar, "An Overview of How Mushrooms Grow." Maitake coffee and tea will be served all day. The event will be held rain or shine; the phone number is 610-444-2192.
This delightful little store is slightly south of the Five Points intersection, south of Kennett Square.
