SUMMARY:NYMS pop-up walk Kissena Park\, Queens\, Saturday\, June 13th followed by (optional) lunch at Bodhi Village
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk in Kissena Park\, Queens this Saturday\, June 13th\, followed by (optional) lunch at the nearby Bodhi Village\, a Chinese restaurant specializing in vegetarian dishes\, many with mushrooms.  Please note the early start time for this walk. \nThe restaurant\, located at 136-20 Booth Memorial Ave\, is about a half hour stroll from the main park via the Kissena Corridor Park. After surveying the main part of the park we will walk through the Kissena Corridor Park to the restaurant.  As many of you know\, the pace of our walks depends how many mushrooms are around.  However\, we plan to get to the restaurant between 1:30 and 2:00. If you plan to join the lunch at Bodhi Village\, please bring cash. About $35 should cover the meal. \nKissena Park is not one of our most frequented green spaces\, mostly because in dry weather there are few fungi. The northern end of the park is a historic tree grove where Samuel Bowne Parsons (1819-1906) established a nursery. Parsons’ nursery imported over 100 varieties of exotic trees and was the first nursery to introduce Japanese maples and propagate rhododendron. Frederick Law Olmsted sourced many of Parsons’ trees for the construction of Central and Prospect Parks. Conditions have been dry and it is still early in the season\, so we’re not expecting a lot of mushrooms. \nBring paper bags for collecting specimens\, a hand lens\, a knife\, a tackle box\, water and a lunch (if you do not plan to join us at Bodhi Village). \nWe highly recommend using the iNaturalist app (IOS\, Android) to document the fungi you find. Find out how to use it here. \nIf you’ve never been on a mushroom walk with us before\, here is what to expect. \nThe event details are only viewable to active members who are logged into the website. To view details of the event\, please use the login form in the left sidebar. \n\nWe look forward to seeing you!
