Saturday, June 27, at 2:00 PM – Mushroom walk and ID session at Shawnee State Park
Our June mushroom walk will be held at Shawnee State Park on Saturday, June 27, at 2 PM Eastern Time. We’ll convene at Pavilion #7 and go for a mushroom walk. You can come early to visit with other members.
What to expect: Generally, there is a brief overview of the kinds of mushrooms that may be seasonally available. Other relevant or important club updates may also be covered. Depending on the number of people in attendance, we will divide into groups to forage for mushrooms. Typically, the walks last 1-2 hours. As people return, mushroom finds are placed and displayed on the tables at the pavilion we’ll meet at, and then a time of identification occurs. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions during this period.
New members are welcome and can sign up at the meeting. We’ll have applications on hand. Dues are $20 annually and can be paid via cash or check.
