SUMMARY:Come join us for an in-person ID meeting this Monday April 22
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday’s ID meeting will take place from 6.30 to 8.30 at Tom Bigelow & Juniper Perlis place in Brooklyn. \nAttendees can of course arrive later and leave earlier. \nPlease bring any interesting specimens regardless of whether you have identified them or not\, and check out what others have found. \nIn person ID meetings are a great way of developing your hands-on identification skills and dipping your toes into microscopy! \nThe event details are only viewable to active members who are logged into the website. To view details of the event\, please use the login form in the left sidebar. \n \nThere will be microscopes and lots of books. \nWe 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: \n\nFungi of New York City.\nFungi Beyond New York City.\nSlime Molds of New York City.

SUMMARY:The Fabric of Fungal Materiality : Intro to Myco-Materials and Pigments
DESCRIPTION:On April 25 from 6.30 to 8.30 NYMS member and Fungus Festival leader Sneha Ganguly is teaching a workshop on myco-materials and pigments at Biotech without Borders\, a community lab co-led by Ellen Jorgensen\, who is also a long-time NYMS member.\n\n\n\nFrom the organizers: \nJoin us for an interactive lecture that will be a primer on fungal-based materials and pigments including a survey of wild mushroom varieties\, recent scientific research and historical uses. The class will explore fungal materiality in its magnitudes\, from fungal biology to the emerging fields in biological- arts\, materials\, and technology. \nClass will open with a tasting of chaga tea sweetened with this season’s maple syrup to get things flowing. There will be a table display of fungal artworks and materials for all to engage with. \nWe will begin with a topical introduction in ethnomycology\, followed by an overview of mycological basics with emphasis on materials science. We will dive into the nuances of chitin\, mycelium and mushroom-based materials\, including mycelium composite materials and mushroom paper. We will learn about fungal pigments through the alchemy of dyes\, inks\, mordants and their preparations\, as well as extraordinary exudates such as latex and spalting. \nWe will reflect on the sensorial ecologies of fungi and how it might inform our practices and collaborations with the natural world. And conclude with critical discourse on ethics and sustainability\, in the advent of the commodification of myco-materials in industry. \nQuestions will be encouraged throughout the presentation. \nThis class is perfect for those who are interested in the natural world\, materials science\, and art-making. No prior knowledge is needed. All ages and experience levels are welcome. \nSchedule \n6:30 – 7:00 Welcome / Tea \n7:00 – 8:30 Presentation / Q&A \nAbout the teacher \nSneha Ganguly also known as Kali Mushrooms\, is an interdisciplinary artist working through the intersection of fine art and mycology. Sneha identifies and studies wild fungi with a special interest in biological materials and pigments\, and synthesizes their alchemical and chitinous properties to create handmade papers\, inks\, dyes and extracts. Her work explores the potential of novel mushroom- and mycelium-based materials as an artistic medium\, to communicate modern mythologies on fungal science\, animisms\, and lessons from the wild. As part of the New York Mycological Society\, Sneha founded NYC’s inaugural Fungus Festival. She is co-founder of the POC Fungi Community. And she instructs courses on mycology and mushroom cultivation for Cornell Small Farms\, as well as for parks\, community and cultural organizations in the metro area. \nwww.kalimushrooms.com

SUMMARY:NYMS pop-up walk\, Prospect Park\, Brooklyn\, Saturday\, April 27th-NOTE start time & location
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk in Prospect Park\, Brooklyn this Saturday\, April 27th! The early season mushrooms are getting started\, plus we should see the ascomycetes\, crusts and polypores that we frequently encounter in cooler weather. \nWe will be joined by a small group of AAPI youth from Sunset Park as part of a series of science educational workshops organized by NYMS member Sally Kong. \nBring paper bags for collecting specimens\, a hand lens\, a knife\, a tackle box\, water and a lunch. \nWe highly recommend using the iNaturalist app (IOS\, Android) to document the fungi you find. Find out how to use it here. \nIf you’ve never been on a mushroom walk with us before\, here is what to expect. \nThe event details are only viewable to active members who are logged into the website. To view details of the event\, please use the login form in the left sidebar. \n\nWe look forward to seeing you Saturday!

SUMMARY:Not all coral fungi are Ramaria: Field characters and taxonomy of Ramarioid fungi within the order Gomphaceae
DESCRIPTION: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. \nMartin Axegård fell down the Ramaria rabbit hole 3 years ago. Ramaria are some of the most conspicuous members of basidiomycota – colorful\, prolific\, and frequently growing to an impressive size. They have a reputation of being hard to identify. Martin took this “bad rep” as a provocation and leapt into all the literature on the subject\, picking up basic mycological Italian along the way. He is now one of the top Ramaria experts in EU\, particularly in the Nordic countries\, with a proficiency for identifying them by macroscopic characters. Over the past 2 years\, he has sequenced more than 500 collections of Ramaria\, providing a more complete picture of species occurring in Sweden. This work has demonstrated that many species have a strictly boreal distribution and are un-described. He is a board member of Stockholms svampvänner (‘Stockholm’s Mushroom Friends’). \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
