Events

Come join us for our scheduled walk in Clove Lakes Park, Staten Island this Sunday!

This walk was originally scheduled for Saturday October 7 but because of significant rain in the forecast we're moving it to Sunday.

We've seen a lot of rain lately and this will have hopefully translated into healthy flushes of fall fungi.

Bring water and lunch.

If you've never been on a mushroom walk with us before, here is what to expect. We highly recommend using app to document the fungi you find. Find out how to use it here.

It's still buggy and tick-y, so make sure to protect yourself!

We're collecting specimens for our mushroom display at Fungus Festival so bring lots of paper bags. Once at home, please keep your specimens in the fridge or a cooler so they can stay in good condition.

We are having our annual picnic and mushroom walk with the COMA (Connecticut/Westchester) club next Saturday, October 28.This year it will be at Mountain Lakes State Park, North Salem, Westchester, NY.  201 Hawley Rd., North Salem, NY.  Spruce Lake Pavilion, first left after park office. Cross bridge, turn right. Only heavy rain will cancel or postpone the event. The Spruce Lake Pavilion is covered. We have a mushroom walk first, our lunch around noon/12:30, followed by a mushroom id session.

Please join us for our last scheduled walk for 2023 in Untermyer Gardens, Yonkers this Saturday

This is a location with fantastic views and some very nice woodlands as well as manicured gardens and fantastical grottoes and towers.

Bring lunch and water.
