SUMMARY:Fungi + Plant Hat-Making Workshop on Mon 4/21
DESCRIPTION:Fungi & Plant Hat Making Workshop on Mon 4/21 for LIVING SOILS RISING \nMon\, Apr 21 (5-9pm) at Henson Carriage House \nCreate hats and wearables of fungi and plants local to Northern Brooklyn that are soil remediators – meaning they help to repair toxic\, polluted soils! \nJoin four experienced costume\, mask and head-piece makers and learn basic headpiece construction techniques while contributing to the artistic process of LIVING SOILS RISING! Our goal is to make 20 Fungi & Plant Hats to be worn by the 20 tour guides who will be leading mini-walking tours during LIVING SOILS RISING\, a large participatory performance on Sunday\, May 4\, 2025 in Northern Brooklyn to seed the future for climate justice and healing at the place where the fossil fuel industry was first born\, and still stands today.  \nAll materials provided\, including images of specific plants and fungi that we will be creating\, as well as design ideas\, models and approaches. You are welcome to bring your own crafting ideas and materials as well. \nMore info and registration here.

SUMMARY:Come join us for an online ID meeting this Monday\, April 21
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday’s ID meeting will be  online. \nCome share what you’ve found\, see what others \nhave found or to ask more general questions about anything fungi-related.\nAs 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: \n\nFungi of New York City\nFungi Beyond New York City\nSlime Molds of New York City\n\nIf you’re not using iNaturalist\, try to have images on your computer that you can share. \nEither way\, it’s important to document your finds with clear pictures\, showing details of cap\, underside and stem\, and to note the habitat \nAll members are welcome to join – especially new members! We will try to make it as easy as possible for everyone and are eager to assist\, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Taste of Science: Fungus Among Us
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a night of science and storytelling inspired by HBO’s The Last of Us\, where a fungal outbreak drives the plot—and the panic. \nOur first speaker will explore the real-world microbes that can infect humans\, and the growing risks they pose. Our second speaker will uncover the bizarre world of slime molds—single-celled organisms that move\, solve puzzles\, and defy expectations. \nFrom terrifying spores to brainless brilliance\, come explore the strange\, spore-filled side of science that might just be stranger than fiction. \nDoors open at 7:00PM. Event is 21+. Limited capacity – reserve your spot here! $5 \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiving in a world of fungi. \n\n\n\n\nTobias Hohl\, MD\, PhD\nhe/him\nwww.mskcc.org/research-areas/labs/tobias-hohl\nBlueSky: @fungalspore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHumans inhale and ingest fungi every day on Earth. For the vast majority of us\, these daily encounters are silent and innocuous. A small subset of fungi can cause life-threatening diseases in vulnerable populations\, typically when the immune system sustains an injury. This talk focuses on the resilience of humans and their immune defenses against ubiquitous fungi. Tobias will explore how our immune defenses recognize and eliminate fungi when they pose an invasive threat. \nTobias Hohl is Chief of Infectious Disease Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and a physician-scientist and who studies how fungi on Earth can cause life-threatening diseases in humans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMyxomycetes: Slime-tastic fun-guys of the microbial world! \n\n\n\n\nElan Trybuch\nhe/him\nelan.trybuch.com\nInstagram: @elaniobro / @nyc.slime.patrol\nBlueSky: @trybuch.com / @newyorkmyc \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElan Trybuch will explore slimemold lifecycle\, classification\, and their biodiversity in the five boroughs. \nElan is the current acting Secretary of the New York Mycological Society and a Myxomycete specialist\, helping to identify species and document the biodiversity of Fungi and Myxomycetes in NYC. He currently lives in Redhook\, Brooklyn with his partner and works at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as an Integration Engineering Manager.

SUMMARY:Benton Taylor - Mycorrhizal Fungi Supporting Forests of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 24th\, 7:30 EDT \nAs human activity continues to pour CO2 into the atmosphere\, terrestrial ecosystems are becoming increasingly important natural carbon sinks that help mitigate this atmospheric carbon accumulation. Currently\, terrestrial ecosystems take up and sequester 1/3 of humans’ annual carbon emissions\, but how long this so-called “CO2 Fertilization” effect will persist is highly uncertain. Plants’ continued ability to take up nutrients from the soil is critical for CO2 fertilization to occur\, and their primary means of doing so in most ecosystems is through partnerships with mycorrhizal fungi. This talk will explore experimental evidence from both temperate and tropical forests on the increased role that belowground mycorrhizal partnerships will play in supporting nutrient acquisition\, tree growth\, and terrestrial carbon sequestration in a future CO2-enriched world. \nDr. Ben Taylor is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research focuses broadly on how terrestrial ecosystems respond to various aspects of global change and what those responses will mean for the future of terrestrial ecosystems to capture and store carbon. Specifically\, work in the Taylor lab addresses how key partnerships between plant roots and soil microbes\, such as mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria\, will impact how plants respond to increases in atmospheric CO2\, temperature\, drought\, human land use\, and other anthropogenically driven changes.\nThe event details are only viewable to active members who are logged into the website.

SUMMARY:NYMS pop-up walk\, Alley Pond Park\, Queens Sunday\, April 27th
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk in Alley Pond Park\, Queens this Sunday\, April 27th. \nAlley Pond is one of our favorite parks\, but like all parks in the city is relatively dormant right for fungi now until the gilled mushroom season gets underway in early June. We are most likely to find jellies\, lichens\, crusts and tiny ascomycetes. This walk is being led by Andrew Cannon\, the club’s expert on rusts\, so expect to see some beautiful rusts as well. \nThese are the species we found last year at this location at the end of April. \nBring paper bags for collecting specimens\, a hand lens\, a knife\, a tackle box (optional)\, water and a lunch. The club is fairly all-weather\, but if the forecast takes a particularly nasty turn\, we will cancel this walk. Please monitor your email in case we do. \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 at the walk!
