Beginning Microscopy for the Amateur Mycologist
A few years ago, NYMS held a Beginners Microscopy Class. It was well attended; many of the participants now incorporate microscopy into their mushroom observations. While we do a little microscopy at our Monday Night meetings, time does not allow for a thoroughgoing exploration of these techniques.We have decided therefore, to have another class to accommodate new members who have joined NYMS in the intervening years.
The sessions are scheduled for June-July when the Myxomycetes appear and the late spring fungi are fruiting. These will be the grist for our observations.
This class is open to NYMS members only.

We had a beautiful afternoon for collecting in Van Cortlandt Park, 40 degrees, more than a dozen members showed up. The rain and winds had dropped plenty of canopy fungi to the forest floor.50 different species were found; many of these were photographed, the more unusual ones collected and preserved.
