SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Camp and Foray Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Camping\, foraging\, fireside stories and LOTS of FOOD make the first AMS weekend outing of the year. This event is all about socializing and reconnecting with old friends\, as well as making new ones! Let’s welcome the new season with an event to shake off the cobwebs of winter and the drizzle of spring! \nDetails:\nCamping – $25.00 per unit (Friday evening through Sunday morning)\nBring your RV\, your van\, your tent\, or whatever you sleep in! Folks are welcome to arrive by 4pm.\n\nForage & Feast – $20.00 per person (Saturday. 16 & under are free)\nThe main event! Forage earlier in the day\, feast later! Liz Watts is preparing a mushroom lasagna as the main entree\, and we ask that everyone provides an item to make up the rest of the meal. Suggestions are: Appetizers\, sides\, veggies\, salad\, condiments and desserts/treats. Please remember to provide a list of ingredients with your dish so that we can minimize any ‘allergy’ issues.\n\nTimeline:\nFriday is setup and get comfy time! Arrive after 4pm\, set up your camp\, and catch up/chat under the stars around the campfire. (Please bring your own firewood and snacks!)\nSaturday is for celebration! At 10am\, Mel Hohn will lead a foray\, with a second foray around 1pm. Folks only planning to attend the Saturday are welcome to attend either one\, but please pack a lunch for yourself (nothing large though\, save room for dinner!)\nSunday is for tidying up! Last year\, attendees left all of the cleanup for the handful of remaining campers. If you are camping with us\, please tidy up your own space then join us in cleaning the hall. Many hands make light work!\n\n\n\nEvergreen Hall\, Condor AB is in between Edmonton (206 Km) and Calgary (178 Km).\n\n\n\n\n\nLastly\, Volunteers will be needed on Saturday. We will be asking on the day so be prepared.

Our finale on Monday will be an exposition of both identified and yet to be identified macrofungi of the region.  Meeting\, dining\, identifying\, and listening to presentations all to happen at the Energy Centre. \n \n\nForays: \nDuring the weekend there will be 12 forays offered which explore the region. Some of which will occur in the Cold Lake Provincial Park; others will take place in Natural or Grazing areas or on private land with permission.  Each participant will have the opportunity to take part in four different forays. \nPermitted forays (aka Forays requiring a permit) in the boreal forest of Cold Lake Provincial Park \n \nCold Lake Provincial Park By Chaplain143 – Own work\, CC BY-SA 4.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=60390499 \n\nAccommodation:\nThe Cold Lake Provincial Campsite has been booked for tenters and campers at the affordable rate of $120 per camper and $60 per tent for the weekend.  If this type of accommodation suits you\, please choose this option when registering for GAMF.  If you prefer a roof over your head\, there are several affordable motels and hotels in Cold Lake such as the Cold Lake\, Alberta Bed and Breakfast | Lakeshore Inn (lakeshore-inn.com)\, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cold Lake\, an IHG Hotel – ReservationDesk.com\, and the  Hotel Dene & Conference Centre – Guest Reservations .  If this type of accommodation suits you\, please make your own reservations.  \n\nExpert fungal identification and presentations by: \nPaul Kroeger\, Michael Schulz\, Martin Osis\, Kyle Canan and Roland Treu. \n\nPaul Kroeger is an AMS favourite for his vast taxonomic and biochemical knowledge of fungi.  His expertise lies in his understanding of the myriad of ways mushrooms can poison you and hence he will be sharing with you a summary of mushroom poisoning cases from the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control/ Poison Control for 2023-2024.  Yes\, mushroom poisoning is very real. \nPaul Kroeger has also established himself as an expert on psilocybin-containing mushrooms by tracking the ancient use of these mushrooms first named Teonanácatl\, Nahuatl for divine mushrooms\, to the present-day research of psilocybin-containing mushrooms for medical treatment.  He fondly calls this his “talk on magic mushrooms.” \nAs well\, Paul will be circulating throughout the day either at the Energy Centre or joining a foray leader on a foray assisting with identifying the hundreds of macrofungi we are likely to collect. \n \n\nMichael Schulz was a long time Board Member\, having served as Vice President in the recent past from 2018 to 2023 and earlier in other positions for about a decade in the early 2000s.  For his service on the Board and to the Society\, at the 2023 AGM\, he was named as a Lifetime Member of the Alberta Mycological Society. \nOver the years\, Michael’s contribution to the Society has varied but at most Great Alberta Mushroom Forays\, Michael can be found close to his reference library\, his microscope and his reagents.  Michael is a key identifier of our foraged finds at the GAMF.  He looks at the fungal spore shapes and sizes and he tests their tissue with KOH\, and Melzer’s Reagent. His work contributes to the microscopic identification of macrofungi.  Most of the participants use the macroscopic morphology of the fungus for identification. \nIn addition to this work this year\, Michael will share with us an update on his work that contributes to the study of 60\,000+ species to be featured in the Wild Species 2025 Report for Canada. This past year Michael performed the 2025 update of conservation ranks for the macrofungi of Alberta and Saskatchewan. For this\, he compiled over 34\,000 records of 2332 species of larger fungi in Alberta\, and 851 in Saskatchewan\, including updating names and taxonomy. Mike will present some of the most interesting findings\, such as “Your Hebolomas are Wrong”\, “The Hyperdiversity of (Not-so) Boring Crusts”\, “The Pain of Pine Mushrooms” and much more! \nPictured below is a very large cedar and a selfie of Mike: \n \n\nMartin Osis is another mainstay at the Great Alberta Mushroom Forays annually as he was on the organizing committee of the very first GAMF in 2006 and he has either been the lead\, on the committee\, or a presenter/identifier at every subsequent GAMF.  Where have we foraged Greatly in Alberta? Just ask Martin.  Where will we forage Greatly in Alberta? Just ask Martin.  Don’t know if you’ve collected something special in Alberta? Just ask Martin. \nMartin has also had an equally long association with the AMS Board of Directors and with the Alberta Mycological Society.  In 1987\, he was one of the first 45 members of the AMS way back when it was called the Edmonton Mycological Club. \nAs this GAMF\, Martin will be found in the fieldhouse verifying identifications of hundreds of macrofungi based on his prior experience and the morphological characteristics of the specimens. Additionally\, he will be providing his annual Introduction to Mushroom Identification. \nFor more information on Martin Osis and his photographs see his website Martin On Mushrooms \n \nMartin on Mushrooms in a beautiful stand of birch and Aspen.\nPhotograph by Melanie Fjoser. \n\nKyle Canan is an avid naturalist\, mushroom enthusiast\, and lover of trees. Kyle is most fascinated with mushrooms and their incredible properties; medicinal\, psychoactive\, edible\, etc. He collects and documents all the mushrooms he observes\, preserving them in his personal ‘fungarium’\, a storage system for dried specimens. He has created his own at-home lab that includes microscopes and DNA extraction equipment for Sanger and Nanopore barcoding/sequencing. Kyle is the founder of Ohio Mushroom DNA Lab where he sequences mushrooms that are sent to him as his dedicated job to mycology. He does this to further mycology and help document the fungal diversity of Ohio and all of the world. He believes there are thousands of discoveries still to be made in this current generation of mycology. Kyle is the Darke County coordinator for the Old-Growth Forest Network and with that he spends his field days in old forests finding new and rare mushroom species.\nKyle will be organizing the AMS to sample the DNA of the specimens collected at this year’s GAMF and then later holding this talk: Mapping North America’s fungal diversity with high throughput DNA barcoding \n \n\nRoland Treu\, Doctor of Natural Sciences\nUniversity of Munich \nRoland Treu is an Associate Professor of Biology at Athabasca University. He is a mycologist and has contributed significantly to the study of mycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizal fungi. His research has been focused on the functional responses of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities to long-term fertilization of lodgepole pine stands\, decline of ectomycorrhizal fungi following a mountain pine beetle epidemic\, and mycoremediation of hydrocarbons with basidiomycetes. He has also conducted research on the accumulation of minerals by Leccinum scabrum from two large\, forested areas in Central Europe. Treu has published several research papers in peer-reviewed journals and has been cited numerous times for his contributions to the field of mycology.
