Mushroom Tour - Mexico 2015 (Non FFSC)
Allan Rockerfeller will be leading a mushroom tour in Queretaro, Mexico Aug 6 - 9, 2015. Queretaro is a really nice place with diverse mushroom habitats, and this tour is unique in that I am not getting paid - all profits go towards saving the forests in the Sierra Gorda Ecological Reserve.
This is not an FFSC event...

Echo Summit Foray (by )
Our Annual Echo Summit Foray is scheduled for September 18 - 20 at the California Alpine Club’s Echo Summit Lodge, with breathtaking views overlooking the Tahoe Basin. If thunderstorms cooperate, which they did last year, we will find quite a variety of fungi, including edibles, such as Bol
etus and Leccinum. Regardless of the number of mushrooms found, we always have a wonderful time.
There is no limit to the foray size itself. FFSC members are welcome to stay off site and join us for the foray and meals. There is also RV parking next to the lodge. The lodge fills up fast so make sure you reserve your space in advance. Reservations for the lodge OPEN Now. You must be a FFSC member for you and your family to attend.

Prince (Agaricus augustus) (by Sue Labiste/Katherine Elvin)
Mushroom of the Month: June, 2015
As a member of FFSC, I have been trying to find my "prince" in the woods. I have heard rumors that they have been around in the fall/spring at Marshall fields, but for me, I am still waiting.
My friend Sue Labiste found some right outside her home in the Santa Cruz mountains. Here is what she shared. Hopefully my luck will change.
