Don't miss this meeting!  This is our kickoff meeting for the 2014/2015 mushroom season and we will be enjoying some great "get together" munchies and appetizers.  In fact, we will be opening the doors at 6:00 pm, one hour early so there will be plenty of time for noshing and visiting before the meeting starts at 7:00 PM.  New!  Chef Bob Wynn will be making pizza.  Bring your favorite topping and a side dish!

For all of you, who are wishing for some information on microscopic features of fungi, Allan Rockefeller has given us a link to a comprehensive article he helped write.  This is really the ABC's of micological microscopy... the next best thing to taking a microscopy course.  This is one fantastic resource for those who want to take their knowledge and ID skills one step farther...
