2015 Justin Pierce: mushroom propagation, reproduction and home cultivation and Election of FFSC Officers (Ministers)
WHAT:
This month Justin Pierce will do a presentation on mushroom propagation, reproduction and home cultivation. Yes, there was some confusion (my bad) about which date he would present when Sara Dosa couldn't come last month, but Justin has confirmed he will be speaking at our May meeting. This should be a topic of interest. As the local mushroom season winds down and edibles become scarce, wouldn't it be nice to have some delectables growing right at home? Come learn all about it.
This meeting will also elect our new officers. This is where the Fungus Federation depends on its many knowledgeable and generous members to make things happen. Like most things, clubs are what you put into them. We do have nominations for officers, and these folks have agreed to run, but that doesn't mean it is too late to get involved. So if you have been enjoying the membership, think about a way to get involved in keeping it rolling!
Here is a list of the Board Members up for election. Please note that the Prime Minister position requires having served previously as a board member. The other positions can be held by any FFSC member.
To get a sense of what is entailed in these positions, see Ministerial Duties.
Meet Amanita pruittii: Arora’s Amanita, Anonymous No More! (by Debbie Viess)
Mushroom of the Month: April, 2015
Those of us who are passionate about all aspects of wild mushrooms are a breed apart. As mycophilic outliers to the societal norm, what better focus for our discerning attention than a mycological oddity like the newly named Amanita pruittii? This mushroom is unimposing, squat and warted, sometimes grows in standing water, and most curiously, is not found with a mycorrhizal partner!
What kind of strange Amanita is this??!

Filmmaker Sara Dosa — The Last Season NO. WAIT, THINGS CHANGED Justin Pierce will present on Mushroom Propagation
Sorry but Sara had to cancel. We hope to have her come next month. Instead, Justin will be doing a compelling presentation on mushroom propagation, reproduction and home cultivation.
We are happy to welcome filmmaker Sara Dosa to our April General Meeting. Sara examines the matsutake mushroom harvest in Chemult, Oregon, and the diverse community of pickers that contributes to the harvest.
