Albion II Foray - Cancelled

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.

Shepherd of the Ozarks Conference Center, 1343 SHEPHERD LANE, COUNTY ROAD 139 HARRIET, AR, 72639 |
The 2013 NAMA foray will be held October 24–27 in Arkansas in the Ozark Mountain Range, hosted by the Arkansas Mycological Society.
There's an old folk saying about the Ozark Mountains: "It's not that the mountains are so high, it's just that the valleys are so deep." This is true because the Ozark Mountains are a heavily eroded plateau, pushed up eons ago and carved out by hundreds of streams over thousands of years...

Marshall Fields |
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.
Echo Summit Foray

Pipi Valley campground, Eldorado CA
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...
Quail Hollow Ranch Winter Foray
I am pleased to announce a Winter foray at Quail Hollow Ranch in Felton. All the normal preparations for wandering through the woods apply: it should be cold and wet. Picking in this location is like Henry Cowell, we can pick but nothing can leave the ranch...
