Sydney Glassman is interested in the interactions between aboveground and belowground terrestrial communities, in particular the effects of mycorrhizal symbioses on plant community composition and function. She is also interested in understanding broad patterns of fungal and microbial diversity and the role of dispersal in shaping ectomycorrhizal communities...

There will be a Habitat Walk hosted by the FFSC on Saturday 9/28 at 9:00 am, at the Marshall Fields area of the UCSC campus located off of Empire Grade Road. This walk will have an emphasis on mushroom ecology, as well as tree identification and their associations with some of our most beloved local mushrooms. This will be a great opportunity to learn how to recognize the places where you can likely find mushrooms when the season is upon us.
Come down for the first meeting of the new season! FFSC's own Christian Schwarz will explore the unique role of the FFSC and its members in assembling the North American Mycoflora Project. The gathering begins at 7:00pm with refreshments and an informal mushroom ID session...

TENTATIVE DATES!
This camping foray takes place in the Sierras at the PiPi Valley campground off Highway 88, between Jackson and Kirkwood. It traditionally takes place on the first weekend of May, or as soon as the snow has melted. For this reason the date is somewhat flexible, so stay tuned for updates. We usually find either morels, Spring King boletes, or both, and often coccoras. The campground is gorgeous with the Consumes River running through it...
Noah Siegel's field mycology skills are extensive – he has spent over two decades seeking, photographing, identifying and furthering his knowledge about all aspects of macrofungi. He has hunted for mushrooms throughout the United States and Canada, as well as on multiple expeditions to New Zealand and Australia. He is one of the premier mushroom photographers in the nation, having won numerous awards from the North American Mycological Association (NAMA) photography contest...
Many wild mushrooms contain permanent, intensely colored dyes. Join us Saturday, March 16th for a hands-on Mushroom Dye Workshop taught by Alissa Allen.
