FAQs:

Does signing up on SCHED save my spot in line for events?

No. This just allows our Pass Holder attendees to make a list of events of what they WOULD LIKE to attend. ALL PASS HOLDERS MUST show up to the event venue and wait in the Queue line to be admitted. For Special Events - YOU MUST PURCHASE YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE TO GAIN ADMITTANCE TO THE SPECIAL EVENT.

How does the Queue line work?

One hour before each event is scheduled to begin, Queue cards will be handed out to Pass Holders until all Queue cards are gone (ie. event spots have been spoken for). Fifteen minutes before the event is scheduled to begin, Queue card holders with line up in order and be admitted into the venue ten minutes before the event begins. 

Can Non-Pass Holders retrieve a Queue card for events?

No. To honor our Pass Holders, all Non-Pass Holders wishing to buy a ticket at the door will wait in a separate line and be only admitted after the Queue Line has been admitted, and only if there is still space available.

Many fungi exhibit seasonal fruiting patterns. Spring and snowmelt conditions in the Rocky Mountains present a particular set of challenges for organisms, and a unique suite of fungi have adapted to these environments. These enigmatic spring fungi will be presented. We will discuss the evolution of one somewhat inconspicuous spring fruiting genus, Tulostoma. Further, the various spore adaptations of this stalked puffball to spring and arid conditions of the Rocky Mountains will be investigated.
