About Eli Turner: \"I'm a lover of all things natural! Raised a city-kid with a big heart for stray animals, in my adult years I've found a lot of joy in learning about the native animals, plants, and fungi that call Texas home. I am an amateur mycologist (studier of mushrooms) and a citizen scientist \u2014 in my professional life, I work an office job in Human Resources. My obsession with fungi came about in my college years; fungi are fascinating organisms, this weird middle ground between plants and animals. The more I learn about them, the more amazed I am \u2014 and I hope you will be too!\"<\/p>","editable":false,"start":"2026-03-24T18:00:00","end":"2026-03-24T20:00:00","backgroundColor":"#3a87ad","borderColor":"#3a87ad"},{"title":"Twelve Hills Nature Center: Texas Trees - Dallas","id":"3-0","eid":"27236","url":"\/events\/twelve-hills-nature-center-texas-trees-dallas","des":"
