Our next ID meeting will take place on Monday from 6.30 to 8.30 at Sally Kong’s house. Attendees can of course arrive later and leave earlier.
You are welcome to bring whatever mushrooms and other fungi you have found recently. Since winter weather is upon us and big mushrooms are scarce, Monday will also be a great opportunity to brush up your microscopy skills. Monday’s session will be equipped with both dissecting and compound scopes. You can practice making slide mounts with chemical stains. It might even be possible to get some practical experience with spore measurement under the microscope.

Any train to Barclay’s Center (2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, and R trains) and then the B61 bus to Van Brunt Verona stop could work. You can also go to Jay Street metro tech (4, 5, A, C or F) and take the B61 from there. Possibly a ferry option: Take the South Brooklyn (SB) yellow ferry line to Red Hook Atlantic Basin and then walk a few blocks.
Please bring any interesting specimens regardless of whether you have identified them or not, and check out what others have found.
We continue to encourage members to use iNaturalist – it’s a great way to keep track of your finds, and you will be able to participate in these two NYMS projects:
We look forward to seeing you on Monday!
