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.
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:
One of New York Mycological Society's very own members, Katy Wang (katywangstudio.com) has some of their original art work featured in the fifth New York Botanical Garden triennial, which starts on May 18th and runs up and through October 27th.

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!

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.
