This walk will be a bit different from our usual NYC Park walks. The Greenbrook Sanctuary prohibits the removal of material from their property. This optimizes the survey baseline: the environs are not foraged thus providing a more natural venue for surveying the fungal biome.
Join us for our online ID meeting on Monday, August 28. Come share what you've found, see what others have found or to ask more general questions about anything fungi-related.
Please join us for a pop-up walk in Cunningham Park, Queens this Sunday!
We don't have a scheduled walk programmed for Labor Day weekend so we'll be checking in on what's going on New York City parks. Cunningham Park has lots of ponds and downed wood so it should be a good walk for wood-decaying fungi.
But ponds also mean mosquitoes, lots of them! We recommend bringing a full armory of bug repellents and protective clothing.
