    Every spring, mushroomers from all over the continent flock to the burn sites of western North America to search for fabulous flushes of bodacious burn morels. However, what happens when fires occur in the eastern part of the continent? What mushrooms appear while the forest is recovering from a burn, and how do these burns impact the fungal populations of these forests?
    These are questions Aubrey asked himself while working at Manitou Point Preserve, during an abnormally dry fall in 2024, while a large wildfire burned a county over in Sterling Forest State Park. This past year he surveyed multiple burns to document the fungi that popped up, and in addition to compiling other observations from iNaturalist and MushroomObserver, he researched both the roles these fungi play in the post-fire environment and the potential impact they can have on humanity. Come out on Friday, 11/21, to see what’s growing in our burns!
