Quail Hollow Ranch by Cass Fuentes

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.

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...
