SUMMARY:Come join us for an online ID meeting this Monday\, May 5
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:Screening of Lichens Are The Way\, Czech Center Cinema May 7
DESCRIPTION:Wed May 7 2025 07:00 PM\nCzech Center Cinema\, Bohemian National Hall\, 321 East 73rd Street New York\, NY 10021\n\n\nFresh after its North American premiere at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, this enchanting festival favorite about the world of lichens is coming to the Czech Center New York. Join its director Ondřej Vavrečka and producer Vít Janeček for a screening and live Q&A moderated by Union Docs Executive Artistic Director Christopher Allen.\n\nAbout the film\n\n\n\nThere are nearly twenty thousand species of Lichens. They’ve inhabited Earth for hundreds of millions of years and play a vital role in countless ecosystems. And yet\, lichens are often overlooked. Filmmaker Ondřej Vavrečka turns his lens toward these remarkable organisms with curiosity and care. His perspective—mirrored in the thoughtful dialogue between experts Trevor Goward and Curtis Randall Björk—is both scientific and philosophical. To Vavrečka\, lichens are more than biological forms; they embody a way of being. They suggest that instead of endless growth and reshaping of our surroundings\, we might imagine a world rooted in symbiotic communities where all life holds equal value. More about the film. \nFind out more about the event here and register for the screening here. The event is free.

SUMMARY:STINK HORN a mycological musical performance-lecture by Siôn Parkinson
DESCRIPTION:STINK HORN: a mycological musical performance-lecture by Siôn Parkinson May 8th in Annandale-on-Hudson and May 9th in Hudson\, NY. \nHow can a mushroom’s noxious stench—and the droning sound of insects irresistibly drawn towards it—reshape how we listen to and make music? \nJoin artist\, musician\, and author Siôn Parkinson for an intimate performance-lecture—part talk\, part live musical experiment—exploring the strange\, multi-sensory world of the stinkhorn fungus. \nDrawing from his book Stinkhorn: How Nature’s Most Foul-Smelling Mushroom Can Change the Way We Listen\, Siôn will lead an evening of music and mycology. Like composer John Cage\, his twin passions for music and mushrooms have shaped a radical approach to sound. Yet while Cage sought silence in his fungal forays\, Siôn finds Stink⎯an element that links sound and smell\, the real and the hallucinated\, opening up new ways of listening and composing. \nSiôn’s performance will be accompanied by a recording of John Cage’s “Child of Tree” (1975)\, a work for amplified plant materials\, performed by D’Arcy Philip Gray (2014) and presented courtesy of Mode Records. \nDr Siôn Parkinson is an artist\, musician\, performer\, and author investigating our sensory relationship with the more-than-human world. He is a research fellow at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh\, Scotland\, UK\, where he is investigating the olfactory heritage of fungi—mushroom odors that hold cultural or historical significance due to their associations with particular places\, objects\, and traditions. Insta: @sionparkinson\n____\nTWO FREE PERFORMANCES:\nBard College Blum Hall\n60 Blithewood Avenue\nAnnandale-on-Hudson\, NY 12504\nThursday\, May 8th\, 4–5pm\nNo registration needed \nFlow Chart Space\n348 Warren Street\nHudson\, NY 12534\nFriday\, May 9th\, 7–8pm\nRegister here \nThe Bard presentation will be followed by a public reception at the John Cage Trust (Bard College’s Wilson House\, 1309 Annandale Road)\, featuring macrobiotic John Cage cookies!

SUMMARY:The Hidden Life Inside Trees - a lecture by Jon Gewirtzman
DESCRIPTION:Trees are more than just plants—they host distinct and highly specialized microbial communities within their wood. Deep in the oxygen-limited heartwood\, fungi\, bacteria\, and archaea form unique ecosystems\, shaping tree health and even contributing to methane production. This talk explores how these microbiomes vary across tree species and tissues\, their interactions\, and their surprising role in forest biogeochemistry. \nJon Gewirtzman is an ecosystem ecologist and biogeochemist\, and a 5th year PhD candidate at the Yale School of the Environment. His research examines how plant and microbial communities regulate greenhouse gas fluxes in forest ecosystems\, with a particular focus on methane emissions from trees and the role of the tree microbiome. By studying interactions between fungi\, bacteria\, and their hosts across scales—from individual microbes to landscapes—Jon aims to better understand how ecosystems influence and respond to global biogeochemical cycles. Jon earned his bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from Brown University and an MPhil from Yale. Before his PhD\, he worked as a research technician in Woods Hole\, Boston\, and the Alaskan Arctic. \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.

SUMMARY:Help map the mycelial underground with Nature School and Field Meridians
DESCRIPTION:Saturday May 10 2025\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm \nOrganized by Field Meridian and Nature School \nLocation: Brower Park Crown Heights \n\n\nFacilitators: Lauren Wilson and NYMS member and fungal advocate Whitney Bauck \n\n\nPay what you wish\, $25 suggested donation \n\nCome on a community dig to help map our local fungal networks and learn and share about the unseen lives right under our feet. \nFocusing on Brower Park in Crown Heights\, this session will start with a brief introduction to local soil and mycorrhizal fungi\, why they matter\, and why we want to get to know them. Then participants will dig in—literally—by taking samples together from a few different spots in the park with different kinds of soil. After the dig\, Whitney and Lauren will sequence the fungal DNA in the samples with lab partners and eventually report our findings back to the group. \nNo prior knowledge of soil science or fungi necessary. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty. \nAbout the Facilitators\nWhitney Bauck and Lauren Wilson are friends\, neighbors\, and dirt and fungi lovers living in Crown Heights. Lauren is a nature writer and nonprofit fundraiser who helped create the first-ever map of Manhattan’s coastal soils. Whitney is a journalist who covers climate change and environmental justice for publications like the Guardian and Atmos and is a member of the New York Mycological Society. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:NYMS pop-up walk\, Seton Falls Park\, Bronx Sunday\, May 11th
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk in Seton Falls Park\, Bronx this Sunday\, May 11th. \nOur first visit to Seton Falls Park was in winter of 2019. There have been only four walks there in May\, but many new-to-city species have been discovered in the park during that month. Lachnum pygmaeum\, Orbilia sarraziniana\, Hydropus sp.\, Hesperomyces harmoniae\, and Vexillomyces atrovirens were all firsts for the city from Seton Falls Park on a May walk. It is also one of only two locations in New York City where Ganoderma tsugae can be found. \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!
