Catskill Weekend 2024 September 20th-22nd
We are returning to Soyuzivka (Soy-ya-`zyou-ka) in Kerhonkson, NY for our Catskill Weekend. Soyuzivka is a Ukrainian Village Resort in the heart of the Shawangunks west of New Paltz.
Our Society has spent autumns hunting mushrooms in this area and hopes this autumn will be as productive as it has been in years past.
The weekend begins with a Friday night travelers' buffet supper at the Main House Dining Room where all meals will be served.
We have reserved the Kiev Lodge, a beautiful house that sleeps 18-20 people in single & double rooms. The house features a spacious living room and a balcony offering a magnificent view of the Catskills to the north. Should we exceed that number we've also reserved Halych Lodge to handle overflow.
There will also be rooms in Sich the Dormitory available. These registrants must bring their own bedclothes and bathroom towels.
And we will offer a meal plan for commuters.
Saturday starts with breakfast, followed by a foray in nearby forests. We'll split up into a couple or three groups. After a lunch, we'll do more foraging in the area. We'll have a mycology session in the late afternoon followed by Saturday night dinner. Sunday we'll have a breakfast before breaking for our return trip to New York with stops along the way for mushroom hunts in the Shawangunks.

Come join us for an online ID meeting this Monday, September 16
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:
