SUMMARY:Great Alberta Mushroom Foray 2025
DESCRIPTION:Great Alberta Mushroom Foray 2025\nFox Creek\, Alberta\nAugust 29 to September 1\, 2025\n\n\n\nThe Alberta Mycological Society is set to host its 2025 Great Alberta Mushroom Foray in Fox Creek\, Alberta\, from August 29 to September 1\, bringing together fungi enthusiasts for a weekend of exploration\, education\, and citizen science in the heart of Alberta’s boreal forest. This annual event\, a cornerstone of the AMS’s mission to study and promote fungal diversity\, will see participants foraging\, identifying\, and learning about the region’s macrofungi\, with expert mycologists like Michael Schulz guiding the process through microscopic analysis and DNA sampling\, contributing to projects like the Wild Species 2025 Report for Canada.\n\n\n\n\n\nFox Creek\, a small town surrounded by dense forests recovering from a 2023 wildfire\, provides an ideal backdrop for the foray. Its spruce-rich landscape offers a unique opportunity to study fungi that may aid in wildfire prevention by decomposing wood fuel\, a research focus for Schulz and Portage College in collaboration with the AMS. Attendees will participate in forays\, workshops\, and presentations\, fostering a deeper understanding of Alberta’s fungal biodiversity while supporting innovative ecological research in a region actively working to enhance forest resilience. \n\n\nSpeakers/Presentations\nDr. Alfredo Justo: The genus Pluteus in North America – 100 species and counting.\nAlfredo is the Curator of Botany and Mycology at the New Brunswick Museum. His research focuses on the fungal diversity of New Brunswick & Atlantic Canada\, while maintaining ongoing global research on selected genera of mushrooms. He is one of the world’s leading experts on the genus Pluteus\, the Deer Mushrooms. \n\nDanny Miller: DNA: The History of Gilled Mushrooms – Workshop: Secrets of DNA analysis.\nDanny is the Education Chair for the Puget Sound Mycological Society\, designing and teaching the curriculum for the club’s mycology classes. Danny is a co-author of MycoMatch (formerly MatchMaker). He has a big interest in taxonomy and figuring out where all of the mushrooms fit into the fungal tree of life\, and is currently trying to collect the DNA of every PNW species to determine which still need names. \n\nPaul Kroeger: Poison Mushrooms – 2025 update. The Death Cap Mushroom; A Citizen Science Project.\nPaul is a long time friend of the AMS and has identified 1000s of mushrooms. He is the premier field taxonomist in Western Canada. He has worked at the UBC herbarium for decades cataloguing and preserving mushrooms. He works with BC Poison Control as their main identifier and has mushrooms named in honour after him. \n\nMichael Schulz: Introduction to the Fox Creek fire safe program and collection protocols.\nMike is a long time member and contributor to the AMS. He is an ecologist who currently is the Research Chair at Portage College. He has done extensive work on Fungal Species at Risk across the Prairie provinces. We usually see him hunkered over his microscope at Great Alberta Mushroom Forays. \n\nMartin Osis: Introduction to Mushroom Identification.\nMartin is one of the AMS founding members. He is called upon to give mushroom related lectures on a regular basis and has held multiple positions on the AMS board. He was also the Canadian Trustee and Vice President of the North American Mycological Association. \n\nMel Hohn: Workshop – Botanical sketching.\nMel is a graphic artist with a love for mushrooms. Sketching and drawing mushrooms is one of the best ways to learn to observe what a mushroom really looks like. She is currently the Vice-President of the AMS. \n\n\nAccommodations\nHere is a list of motels and hotels in the area. We recommend that you reserve early\, as Fox Creek goes through booms and busts depending on the economic swings in the resource sector. (Click hotel names for Google listings) \n\nEcono Lodge\nAlaskan Motel\nFox Creek Inn\nIosegun Lake Lodge (Camp style set up just outside of Fox Creek)\nSuper 8\nFoxwood Inn & Suites\nBest Western Plus\nComfort Inn & Suites\nTimber Ridge Inn & Suites\nDevonian Hotel and Suites\nBedrock Inn\nGrizzly Motor Hotel\n\n\n*Meals\nMeals will be provided by Freson Bros in Fox Creek. While we strive to accommodate dietary restrictions\, it may be challenging to meet all needs. If you have specific or sensitive dietary requirements\, please consider selecting the “no meals” option and arranging your own food. Otherwise\, kindly indicate your dietary needs during ticket purchase. Thank you! \n\n\nVolunteer Options\nPlease join us in making GAMF a success by volunteering for a few specific tasks.
