Quail Hollow Ranch Foray
Join us for this season’s first Quail Hollow Ranch Foray between Felton and Ben Lomond on January 18th!
For years, the FFSC has led forays in this highly productive and diverse area. Amanitas, Boletes, Chroogomphus, Suillus, Trametes and Tremella have all been found here, just to name a few. While there is no guarantee as to how the low levels of rain fall will affect the kinds of fungi we find this year, it promises to be a beautiful hike through varying types of terrain: Shady Oak groves, grassy fields, Manzanita thickets, and Pine trees.
General Meeting with Dr. Tom Volk
Join us for our monthly meeting! We gather at the Harvey West Scout House for refreshments and informal mushroom ID from 7:00 – 7:30. Organizers will provide updates on future forays and other activities, followed by our speakers. Bring along your sense of curiosity and any mushrooms you've found and would like help identifying.
