Henry Cowell Habitat Walk (by )

A  great group of people attended the Henry Cowell Habitat Walk this last Saturday.  These hearty mushroom enthusiasts were greeted with early rain, muddy conditions… and TONS of mushrooms popping up all over!  Some of the highlights were beautiful clumps of Oysters, fresh Lion's Mane, Dyer’s Polypore, carpets of Mycenas, an impressive troop of Jack O’Lanterns, and ominously glowing Death Caps.  Below is a partial list of species found; there were various Agaricus, possible Agrocybes, and LBM’s that weren't included (among others).

Take a look at the diversity of what we found by clicking on the link:
