Echo Summit 2015 Foray Report (by Anna Stockel)

Lisa finds a Reishi
Another great Echo Summit Foray is in the history books.
 
Sadly, the weather has been so warm and dry this year that despite spreading out and searching a wide area, including the tried and true locations near the still flowing creeks, no one found any edible Boletus.
Happily, we had a great time anyway.  Those of us looking for Ganoderma tsugae found as many very fresh, moist ones as we wanted...

? WHEN: 18-20, September 2015
? WHERE: Echo Summit Lodge, 9010 Johnson Pass Rd, Echo Lake, CA

Our Annual Echo Summit Foray is scheduled for September 18 - 20 at the California Alpine Club’s Echo Summit Lodge, with breathtaking views overlooking the Tahoe Basin. If thunderstorms cooperate, which they did last year, we will find quite a variety of fungi, including edibles, such as Bol etus and Leccinum. Regardless of the number of mushrooms found, we always have a wonderful time.

There is no limit to the foray size itself.  FFSC members are welcome to stay off site and join us for the foray and meals.  There is also RV parking next to the lodge.  The lodge fills up fast so make sure you reserve your space in advance.  Reservations for the lodge OPEN Now.  You must be a FFSC member for you and your family to attend.

What?

That's what most people in Alaska say after you've replied to the question, "What are you doing here in Alaska?"

"We're mushroom hunting."

"What?"

"We're hunting for mushrooms."

"Mushrooms!"

"Yes, for 8 days. We're with the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz."

"What? You're hunting for mushrooms? Fungus Federation?"

"Yes, we came from California to hunt mushrooms."

"What?"
