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.
