  • Come join us for an online ID meeting this Monday, December 9

    Virtual Event

    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:

  • Thank you for joining our 2nd NYMS Holiday Party, Tues. 12/10/2024!

    Thanks to the 50 members who braved the rain and ventured out to the wilds of Ridgewood on 12/10/2024 to create a festive and convivial evening.  We raised a toast to fungi and fermentation and indulged in delicious mushroom dishes.  Nineteen folks exchanged fun mushroomy Secret Santa / Siberian Shaman surprises.  Ten lucky raffle winners took home bottles of Irina Adam's Phoenix Botanicals new Black Trumpet Mushroom perfume (partnered with Scott Bluedorn's art).  Cheers to all our beloved members for making 2024 such a wonderful year of mycological discovery, cultural collaborations, and community building!

    Next Monday's ID meeting will take place  from 6.30 to 8.30 in person.
    Attendees can of course arrive later and leave earlier.

    Please bring any interesting specimens regardless of whether you have identified them or not, and check out what others have found.

    In person ID meetings are a great way of developing your hands-on identification skills and dipping your toes into microscopy!
