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!
Join us for a walk in Seton Falls Park, Bronx this Sunday, May 26th! Bring paper bags for collecting specimens, a hand lens, a knife, a […]
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:
Jessica Reisch’s Fruiting Bodies utilizes the familiar mushroom as a window into exploring the vast and largely invisible networked relationships in the natural world. Shengnan Dong and Michael Dondero’s Nostril looks at the things people put up with for love, highlighting relationship struggles with a light-hearted tone. Yinjie Liu, Yi Yao and Yuqi Gong present Heartbeats, a 3D-animated short film about a young boy named August whose dreams of being a cool drummer shift as he grows older.
She would love to pass along an invitation to the reception this Monday 6/10 6-8pm to other members, many of whom she has to thank (in addition to programming like the Myco Film Fest!) for inspiring and supporting this project.

Join the Urban Park Rangers on this community science project where they count and identify wildlife living in this park and along the coast, and see how other naturalists conduct scientific research for our local wildlife.
This New York City Parks event is in collaboration with the Staten Island Zoo, Conference House Park and Freshkills Park educators.
Join us for a walk in Alley Pond Park, Queens this Sunday, June 9th. If we are blessed with some decent rain this week we may […]

Tarun Nayar / Modern Biology is a ‘mushroom musician’ who creates soundscapes from the bioelectric changes in plants and mushrooms. He’s invited some of his favorite mycologists, ecologists, poets and musicians to celebrate the plant and fungal kingdoms and inspire hope and resilience.
Expect a short scientific talk, poetry and musical performances, culminating in a live plant and mushroom music experience by Modern Biology in which listeners are encouraged to ‘try on’ plant and fungal consciousness, and expand their awareness to these more-than-human worlds.
