Dr. Susko’s mushroom garden at the EIC is no longer in operation, but Mike Solomon has been incorporating fungi into his home garden and will share his enthusiasm on the subject.

Environmental Interpretive Center staff member Mike Solomon is a 2023 Graduate of University of Michigan-Dearborn, with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies (Naturalist Concentration).  He spends much of his free time outdoors, hiking, fishing, foraging and exploring. He also enjoy playing video games, and listening to music!

His latest recognition came from the National Association for Interpretation Great Lakes Region, as the 2025 recipient of the Sandy McBeath Outstanding Part-time/Seasonal Interpreter, presented at the recent regional interpretive workshop held at Hueston Woods State Park in College Corner, Ohio.

EIC alumni Griffin Bray, Program Assistant Dale Browne (last year’s recipient of "the McBeath"), and EIC’s Dorothy McLeer nominated Mike for this award, with support from other EIC colleagues.
