Next Monday's week's ID meeting will be happening online.
Rather than using our usual format we're going to experiment a little. Since there are fewer fungi to be found this time of year, we'll be diving deeper into genera that a lot of people are interested in. This Monday the spotlight is on the milky caps - Lactarius and Lactifluus, hosted and moderated by the club's own expert Bethany Beech.
Bring your most exciting or confounding milky cap observations and let's figure them out together.
As always we encourage you to use iNaturalist to share your observations - it's a great way to keep track of your finds, and you will be able to participate in these two NYMS projects:

Next Monday's ID meeting will be happening online.
Since there are fewer fungi to be found this time of year, we'll be diving deeper into families of fungi that a lot of people are interested in. It's stick season, so this Monday the spotlight is on ascomycetes, hosted and moderated by the club's own expert Ethan Crenson. To get you in the mood, check out Ethan's charming Instagram takeover from the other week.
Did you know that ascos account for a whopping 75% of the fungal kingdom, leaving fleshy fungi in the dust? They're as large as morels, as weird as Dead Man's Fingers and as tiny as the tiniest Patellaria. Bring your most exciting or confounding asco observations and let's learn about them together! We might well have time left over to look at other observations too.
As always, we encourage you to use iNaturalist to share your observations - it's a great way to keep track of your finds, and you will be able to participate in these two NYMS projects:
Fungi of New York City
Fungi Beyond New York City
Slime Molds of New York City
If you're not using iNaturalist, try to have images on your computer that you can share.
Either way, it's important to document your finds with clear pictures, showing as many details as possible.
All members are welcome to join - especially new members! We will try to make it as easy as possible for everyone and are eager to assist, so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

ID Session information
About the ID Session
We have Zoom ID meetings and in person gathering alternating every Monday evening at 18:30. Invites with a link get sent out every Saturday. Everyone is invited to these meetings and no prior knowledge is required. Share images of your finds or see what others have found.
In addion to Zoom, we also conduct in person ID Sessions at various members homes. These in person meetings superceed the Zoom sessions. We will have microscopes, books, snacks and drinks.
iNaturalist
Document your findings
We are committed to documenting biodiversity and many of our members use the iNaturalist app to document their finds. This generates valuable records for science and conservation.
Bonus: expert identifiers will ID your specimens. We have four projects – one for NYC & the 5 boroughs proper, one for outside NYC & the surrounding areas, one for Slime molds of NYC, Bolete patrol and one for DNA Sequenced Collections – and we encourage you to join them. Instructions on how to use iNaturalist are here if you need them.
