This year’s foray will be held in Hyannis, Massachusetts located about a third of the way down the length of Cape Cod, a world-famous sandy peninsula jutting out from the Massachusetts coast. The Cape benefits from prolonged warm weather due to its arm-like projection into the gulf stream. Its soil is generally sandy because it is a terminal moraine remnant from the ice age. The Cape is well known for its pitch pine woodlands and old sand dunes, although there are ample numbers of older forests with oak, beech, and white pine. Hundreds of macrofungi species will be at peak fruiting during the time we are there, including the unmistakable Suillus salmonicolor, the highly sought after Matsutake, Tricholoma magnivelare, and perhaps the exceptionally rare Tricholoma apium.
