SUMMARY:Science of the Living City: Lunch + Learn: Urban Mycology
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT! \nThe NYC Urban Field Station invite you to an upcoming virtual Lunch and Learn presentation with Ethan Crenson and Sigrid Jakob of the New York Mycological Society. Please join us on Wednesday\, February 25th\, 12:00 – 1:00pm Eastern. Teams video link below.  \nUrban Mycology: What we’re learning about the fungi in New York City parks\nNew York City’s parks host an extraordinary diversity of fungi – organisms that underpin soil health\, nutrient cycling\, tree vitality\, and ecosystem resilience\, yet are often overlooked by both visitors and stewards of our parks. \nThis talk introduces the fungal diversity of New York City parks and the long-running research efforts of the New York Mycological Society to document it. Drawing on nearly two decades of systematic field surveys\, microscopy\, and DNA sequencing\, the presentation explores what fungi reveal about park ecosystems: which kinds of fungi occur in NYC parks\, how species composition varies among parks\, how climate and weather patterns influence fruiting\, and which invasive species are of emerging concern. The talk will also highlight several notable species documented in New York City parks for the first time in 2025. \nThe presenters:\nEthan Crenson\nEthan is a long-time member and current president of the New York Mycological Society. He studied art and is a graphic designer. As an amateur mycologist\, he has focused his efforts on understanding the Ascomycota\, with a particular emphasis on pyrenomycetes – the ugly ducklings of the fungal kingdom. \nSigrid Jakob\nSigrid is a passionate amateur mycologist with a focus on documenting and identifying fungi through field observation\, microscopy\, and DNA sequencing. She specializes in fungi associated with herbivore dung. She has been collaborating on the descriptions of new species and produces NYMS’ annual research reports on fungal diversity in NYC parks. She serves on the board of FUNDIS\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fungal conservation. \nThis webinar is part of the NYC Field Station’s Science of the Living City program\, which aims to engage both natural resource professionals and the public in discussions related to the social\, biological\, and physical aspects of urban ecology\, as well as quality of life in cities. \nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 241 840 013 413 3\nPasscode: 9yV3VW9t \nDial in by phone\n+1 646-893-7101\,\,577894141# United States\, New York City\nFind a local number\nPhone conference ID: 577 894 141# \nJoin on a video conferencing device\nTenant key: cityofnewyork@m.webex.com\nVideo ID: 117 248 132 9\nMore info

SUMMARY:—canceled— NYMS pop-up walk\, Clove Lakes Park\, Staten Island\, Sunday\, March 1st
DESCRIPTION:Due to the stubbornly unmelted snow and ice in Staten Island parks\, our pop-up walk in Clove Lakes is cancelled. \nJoin us for a walk in Clove Lakes Park\, Staten Island this Sunday\, March 1st.  \nThere is a considerable amount of snow remaining in our parks right now (Wednesday PM)\, but the temperatures forecast for the coming days suggest that enough of it may be gone by Sunday so that a pop-up walk will be feasible. If this turns out not to be the case\, we will cancel this walk\, so please monitor your email. (If a cancellation is in the offing you will hear about it by Saturday late afternoon.) \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 or shift it to another day. 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!
