WHAT:	Spring Foray 2016
WHEN:	29-01, May 2016
WHERE:	Eldorado National Forest, CA

Every year as the snows melt and the ground warms, some very delicious mushrooms coax their way up through the ground.  One of those is the coveted morel, others include  Spring King boletes, and often Coccoras.  This year's weather and snow pack has every indication that we will have a very successful foray.  Current FFSC members who are logged in on the website can get the location and date in the Members-only information  to follow.

WHAT:	Quail Hollow Ranch Local Foray
WHEN:	03/12/2016, 10 am - 1 pm
WHERE:	Quail Hollow Ranch County Park

All are subject to cancellation/possible location change

SIGN UP/Confirmation is REQUIRED

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. Further within the park, one will find winding Redwood paths and sandstone wall formations that are part of the Sandhill habitat that lies between Ben Lomond and Scotts Valley.  The trails vary in difficulty; very flat and easy to somewhat moderate.

Quail Hollow has given us permission to pick within the park but we cannot take anything we pick outside of the park.  Parking at the Ranch is very limited so car pooling is recommended, as there is no street parking. Through the efforts of previous forays, the FFSC has created a good relationship with park leaders, and we ask that you please respect their requests.
