This presentation provides an overview of Ramarioid fungi, beginning with how to distinguish Ramaria from other coralloid fungi (Artomyces, Clavulina, etc.), and how to distinguish Ramaria from other Ramarioid genera within the Gomphales. We will then focus on Ramaria and cover distinguishing features of the subgenera. Further, the importance of documenting field characters for identification will be discussed. Many European species can be identified with proper documentation without microscopy, and it is very likely that similar concepts can be applied in North America. A practical key will be outlined, and notes on DNA sequencing considered.
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 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!
Since the MycoConsortium of the Northeast is filled with people that have great interest in fungi, this presentation will focus on some of the wonders of the fungal world that Bob has encountered over the past decades. These examples are in his top list of fungi that represent the extraordinary nature of the fungal kingdom – they are fungi with a WOW factor.
Join us for a walk in Long Pond Park, Staten Island this Saturday, May 11th! It's still early in the season for fleshy-gilled mushrooms. Some gilled […]
On this Mother's Day, learn about the different ways that mushrooms nurture the forest. This Urban Park Ranger led hike will take you through the forest to learn how to identify fungi.
