13 people bravely ventured out of their homes to forage for mushrooms at Terwillegar Park. We were surrounded by blue skies filled with white puffy cumulus clouds. Everyone split up and went different directions into the park. We found a surprisingly large variety of mushrooms – everyone seemed satisfied with the day.  Thanks go out to Karen Slevinksy and Ryan James for their identification help. We were all quite fortunate that it didn’t rain on us until the end of the foray.

🍄🍄 Shout out to the officer who stopped to say hi. He was a big fan of the AMS and spoke fondly of his EXPO experience. Nice to have fans 🍄🍄
