Next Monday's week's ID meeting will be happening online.
Come share what you've found, see what others have found or to ask more general questions about anything fungi-related.
We encourage you to use iNaturalist - it's a great way to keep track of your finds, and you will be able to participate in these two NYMS projects:

Join us for a pop-up walk in the Wolfe's Pond Park, Staten Island, Saturday, December 23rd at 9:30am!
Bring lunch, water and paper bags for collecting specimens. Bring your hand lens, a knife, a tackle box if you have one, and your keen senses.

If you've never been on a mushroom walk with us before, here is what to expect.
Take the 8:30 Staten Island ferry from Whitehall Street and then take the Staten Island Railway (SIR) which leaves at 9:01. It arrives at the Prince’s Bay station at 9:34 when the walk starts. The walk begins here, at the corner of Herbert Street and Holten Ave.
You might want to use the MTA trip planner to find a transit route that works best for you. And definitely check the MTA Service Alerts web page for last-minute transit changes. (The MTA currently says that there are boarding changes for SIR trains for Saturday, but this does not affect transit.)
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
We will have pop-up walks on most weekends until scheduled walks start again in July 2024. Pop-up walks are usually announced on Thursday mornings. Locations and dates are picked at short notice based on local conditions and walk leader availability.
If you are interested in leading or co-leading a pop-up walk please respond to this email. No taxonomic knowledge is required. The only prerequisite is familiarity with the club's walk route in a specific park.
Join us for a pop-up walk on New Year's Day in Central Park, Monday, January 1st at noon.
Bring lunch, water and paper bags for collecting specimens. Bring your hand lens, a knife, a tackle box if you have one, and your keen senses.

Join us for a pop-up walk in the Forest Park, Queens, Saturday January 6th!
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:
